CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW TO REMOVE THESE PUSH-IN FASTENERS???? Thanks for your help in advance......[:I]

I also put a power antenna on mine over a year ago. I'm not around my car to look to see what you are talking about (becasue I'm in Iraq) but I think I know. I believe there is a small round object in the middle of the fastner that you push in with a nail or something just as small. Then you would use a flat head screwdriver to get under the fastner and pry it up. It should come up with ease. If not, you have to push the center object in further. Try this and see if it works.

Haven't done the wheel well ones, but if they're like the one that hold the hood blanket, there's a tab on the side that pops out to hold them in - you work a very small, flat screwdriver under the lip to push the tab in and pry the tab out. Trouble is, you don't know where the tab is - I used needlenose pliers to rotate the flat cap around while pushing on the screwdriver. Once you get one out, you'll see.
