'02 -> '04 radio cover
as the above. bought an '04 radio cover from hardguy.com and have removed the main radio facia cover but cant get the bloody pins out of the radio cover hinges... any ideas? have read all the threads saying use a coat hanger or nail etc but its a tight space and cant really get anything in there! plus they wont shift
any ideas people?

It is an absolute bitch!
I ended up folding a coat hanger and whacking it with a hammer!
Just try and find something fit for purpose - anything that will fit in the hole, even at an angle, then you can just give it a good tap with the hammer - took me about 45 mins all in.
Once you get the pins out pay very close attention to how the spring is mounted, you will need to replace exactly to get it to work - it's not rocket science if you don't but it will save you time.
Good luck!
