Good point! (Edited the title.)

Although, there's a plastic stud that it goes with, so I WAS partially right.

It's still a royal PITA...

I'm putting off the retainer clip that holds the lighter in place. I fought it once already and it won

If your windshield is out, reach over the dash from the front of the car....
Still sucks, can't see it, but it was easier once that way....

Yep nothing like using an open end wrench a 1/4 turn at a time. All the while that damn metal shelf there grabs you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) . I hate the suckers too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif)

Those suck!
Coming off or going on the result is the same. Cuts on your hands and wrists that leave your friends asking really awkward questions.

In another thread, someone theorized that the beginning of the assembly line was that nut on a strung...and the entire car was built around it.

How funny! I was saying the exact thing today myself as I was installing my dash. Finally determined that child labor works best... Used one of my kids with small hands.

This type of wrench makes it easier! I also pry down the lower metal with a large screw driver and it make putting the nut back on much easier!

I have those...but can't find my 14mm!

Funny story about those wrenches. More than once, I've use the ratchet side to put ON a nut in a tight area, only to have the wrench be captive after I torque down on it.
