Hammer is not the way to go. Just push harder

My next option will be to use a hammer on them unless someone has some information that is not in the step by step instructions.

I may take you up on that. You're about an hour north of me. I'm in Lansing IL. I'll get in touch with you on this board when I'll be able to make the trip. This weekend is out because I am becoming old this weekend and the car will be parked and I will more than likely be drunk. Thanks.

Ya know? I have to laugh I'm a perfect 3/3 (3 cars three breaks) for the cursive writing that Porsche makes from the same high quality plastic used in CD holders. Couldn't they just ask GE to make them out of Lexan? They would outlast the car! Anyway no hijack point being you don't want to force ANY Porsche plastic unless you want to be replacing it. Especially those blinds that have a small foot that fits into a sleeve that just happens to be at the end of a dainty plastic arm.
