I have found the magic button works best with the headlight switch at the headlights on position , push the button and give it a wriggle to get it to pop out
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

Thanks, that is cool. If you are looking for an outing in Adelaide, the club has an informal run to Gumeracha Oval 20th October with the aim to sit kerbside and view the Bay to Birdwood. Meet TTP McDonald’s 7:30 for 8am departure. There will be a mix of survivor, restored and modified FB and EKs. You would be very welcome. It is family oriented, with a touch of hoon.
