I don't think so. This is what I did to run wire to an extra light under the
rear upper cabinet.

I use a small sharp knife blade to slip under the edge and carefully pry off.
Even with this, I've marked a few of them up, but it's better than using
pliers or a screwdriver.

> B) Is is possible to buy these caps in bulk? I looked at Busdepot and Vanagain and I don't see them. Is there another vendor out there. I've even looked in McMaster Carr and Grainger to find something similar. No such luck. Maybe I should just pull them all off, then I wouldn't know the
difference.

Maybe the dealer? I bought new screws for the front luggage rack and the
dealer ordered them in (prepainted!), not too expensive considering the
odd size is nearly impossible to match.
