 I watched my really good resto body guy (Malcolm) remove them w/ that
special panel removing tool w/ a forked tongue, took him forever to protect
my perfect yellow panels, but he did! He used the forked tongue, putty
knives, all at the same time, & very slowly, still broke about 30% of the
snaps. I fedexed in new ones from BD, that the painter matched the color on
the panels to nicely & have some spares for the future.

Tom-yellow or brown-which one is uglier?
