Default A few little things

Just wondering if y'all know of ways to solve my little problems.

1. Is there an easy way to remove the plastic from the steering column? My key is stuck in the ignition since I am not able to push the key forward enough to turn it all the way so that I can remove it. I either have to figure out what's wrong through y'all, or I have to get the plastic off so I can looks inside and see what is preventing the key from turning.

2. The front passenger quarter-panel and side skirt are "peeling" away from the body. Is there any way to press them back against the car and make them stay?

3. And lastly, are there any better lights for firebird blinkers that do not get hot enough to make the orange peel off? Or maybe lights with more reliable orange covering? White-ish orange blinkers look weird.

Thanks for the help guys. I'll get some pics tomorrow if my descriptions aren't good enough.

For your lights, run a search on led switchbacks. I converted mine over to them and couldn't be happier. I believe they make the smt towers in all amber as well.

Bump.

I've heard the side skirt thing is a normal fbody issue, so has anyone fixed theirs?

Has anyone ever taken the steering column apart?
