Those damn plastic rivit thingies broke again

You do know you have to pull the little center piece out first and then use your fingernail or something like it to remove the fastener. FWIW, the Gold Wing uses a nice flush one on its glovebox that you push the center pin in first to release the fitting and then pull out the outer housing. On replacement, you pull the pin all the way out, install the fastener and then push the pin flush to lock. I like them.

When you put the new ones in, put a little petroleum jelly on them, both inside and out. They'll come out slick as you please next time.

One was the flush, one was the button top. I figured I needed to replace a few for my 99 that keeps snapping off from old age. They are perfect, but still in the bag so I may be full of shit.
