Default Allright...what's the easiest way to get the A4......

Shift **** off?!.........I have my Carbon Fiber console piece (Fianlly!) in from RK, and the damn thing won't budge....needle nose pliers are no use because I cant get a good grip on the "lip" of the clip.....I've read about using small watch screwdrivers (which I have access too), but I need a sure-fire, EASY way to get this bad boy off with out destroying anymore of the leather.....SUGGESTIONS PLEASE!!.....thanks.....

Do you mean that the staple has gone too far in the slot?
I just used a small screwdriver (freebee from car show) to gently pry it out.
Angle the screwdriver in so that the tip of it gets behing the staple and leverage it out.

Yea, the clip is too far in for me to get the needle-nose on it, thanks for the "screwdriver" method, seems that's the way to go.....

I used a dental tool, one of those metal pokey things, lol. It's straight on one end but has a 90* bend on the other.

You can often find a set of dental picks at a paintball shop. I have a set and they come in handy. I hadn't thought of using one in that manner, but that is a good idea.
