A&Q about Lotus
Q:
there seems to be two plastic clips w/ a small hole in it, i assumed you push something into it to release it, no go, any ideas?
TIA
A:
To me, they look like the plastic pop-rivets Lotus uses.
Yes, I said plastic pop-rivets - the same thing that hold the speaker pods in place to place them further back for the harness bar. If so, they'll have to be drilled out (carefully since they're plastic).
