The wet soda blaster took to the door plate despite my efforts to mask it off and requesting him to avoid the area.
I see 914rubber sells a replacement kit of plate and pins. As I understand it, the pins are a type of spiral nail. What is the recognised for removal of these and also re installation? Thanks in advance <a href="https://s1258.photobucket.com/user/nihil44/media/IMGP3172_zpskajmxihe.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="https://i1258.photobucket.com/albums/ii532/nihil44/IMGP3172_zpskajmxihe.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo IMGP3172_zpskajmxihe.jpg"/></a> |

I managed to push the pins out from the access hole behind the speaker with a flatted screwdriver. Once I'd pushed them out a little I then pulled them out with a pair of pliers.

+1, I used a small screwdriver to get it started, plastic body tools to edge each "nail" out further, pliers to finish it if needed. I was able to reuse the fasteners

Push or lever the pins out from the back.
Use a razor to lift the plate. Don't use a plier on the pins. Re-use the pins Attached image(s)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I should get a Karmann tag and stamp it to indicate the current fabulous shade. Hey Ian.... looks like rain for tonight. |

I should have said, the pliers are needle nose (small) and you softly grab the main part of the nail (once nail is most of the way out), with out pressure, and then have the outward force on the back side of the nail head.

The fastener is actually a screw so a twisting force will help when installing or removing
