Title: Anyone recommend some panel tools?
Post by: zerolag on December 31, 2012, 03:01:51 pm: I'm going to be doing some trim removal in the new year and would like to do it properly on the Golf, rather than previous efforts of credit cards, rags, butter knifes etc. :ashamed:

I've seen this on the Bay, just wondering whether anyone had other suggestions:

Post by: Horatio on January 01, 2013, 01:27:52 pm: If its radio removal, the trim around the radio/heating controls are made from balsa wood :fighting:

I found these are really easy and flexible to get into very small slots to ease the trim off. Bought from HobbyCraft, less than £3.
