Dome light

Hey, does anyone know if there is a tool to remove the little locking clips from the dome light pegs on my 88 w t-tops? I have encountered these on heavy equipment but just rough housed them off, dident really car much about how it looked in the end. I dont want to use this method on my camaro however. Is there a method or a tool i should be using/doing? Thanks for any tips.

I usually use a thin flat bladed screwdriver to get them off.

Re: Dome light

very easy, take a pair of needle nose pliers and grab the clip......then twist it back and forth until it starts to slide off.

Re: Dome light

Pliers and wiggling back and forth worked out perfectly. Thanks
