Anyone know how to get those stubborn plastic rivets off so I can remove the plastic rear quarter panel. I am installing a new Thunderform and cannot get them off.

I think there is a special tool for them, i guess u can try your local parts store. For mine we just pryed them up with a screw driver and replaced them we ones out of a junkyard if they broke which some will.
 






Ummmmmmmmmm, the interior trim ?
 






If they are the plastic fashia fasteners, just nugger them out and buy new ones, are pennys apiece
 






I would try to avoid breaking them because my local parts store was not able to match them and ford wanted me to buy an entire kit for like 30 bucks just because I needed like 3 of the plastic pins.
 






Yep, called the Ford dealer and they are 32.00 dollars and they would have to order them. I got two of them out last night but I had to pry them out real easy.
