Bottle opener. Works just as well on the light/wiper ***** as a bottle of Labbatt Blue. If only Snap-On made them. Seriously though, I have one in my tool box, and it works like a champ.

They make these nifty little dental tools that you can pick up at your hardware store... one actually has a metal hook on the end of it that comes to a sharp point. Stanley and I think Craftsman also make them. The tab it is speaking of is a friction type connector. When you pull on the hook tool with the tip of the hook inside the **** it will pull that little tab towards you and your **** will fall off into your hand... I would bet you could probably use a bent paper clip or a fish hook, just as easily.

I had to pull my dash apart about 4 times in one weekend on my F150 and I am about to do it again on my Bronco... There really is no substitute for having the right tool for the job. Especially when it comes to the dash. I swear Ford must have copied the design from the Japanese, that thing is a PAIN IN THE... well you know...
