Does anyone have a preferred "shortcut" for removing the retaining "U" tab on the soft line mounts to the body? The bottom ones behind the wheels are a snap as there is plenty of remove to lever with a screwdriver or other, but the upper side which is up at the edge of the engine bay has very little maneuvering room to get a tool in, on , around.
thx Mike |
