If you don't want to drill the holes out, I'd say that Harbor Freight has an assortment of angled needle nosed pliers and one of those pairs would likely work. You can (or could) buy an assortment of them for about 10.00 that I've found helpful to contort into places that I never thought possible.</div><div><br></div><div>Another option would be dental or surgical pair of pliers/hemostats.

I do recall I could not install the fiberglass window screen that the manuals recommended at the time for leaf protection because of the need to put the retainers on.</div><div><br></div><div>Warren</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Today's Topics:<br>

Has anyone installed the small grill in front of the windshield recently?? I was surprised to find mine was just dropped into position with nothing to retain the pins.? I bought the little plastic being sleeves that you slip over the pins to retain the grill that Moss sells, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to put them on.? Kind of tough from above.? I am beginning to understand why I found the grill that way.<br>
