Yeah, well... I used a pen... something I've used successfully on every vanagon clock I've ever had (this is the third), but it has never stuck before.  You are right, it is pushed way to far in.  So to take the clock out do you have to remove the whole dashboard housing or what?  Guess I should look at the Bentley... duh.  Any tips?

  I had to take the clock out.  The owner pushed the button in too far and
  bent the plastic "spring" so it wouldn't return.  I put it in hot water and
  re-shaped it.  Worked OK.  I had luck on another one by enlarging the hole,
  but removing the clock is the better way to go.  Don't use an ice pick to
  reset your clock!  A small paper-clip works and only push in as little as
  necessary to change the setting.

  Can somebody please tell me how to get the little button on the hour side
  of the clock unstuck.  I set the hours and it stuck in.  The hours keep
  flying by (which) is normal), but renders the clock useless.  Any
  suggestions?  I can't see inside.
  TIA
