Find a long flat object to pry it open, or one of those panel poppers.

buy a trim removel kit, they are made out of plastic,and several different sizes and shapes come in the kit, if you go to www.eastwoodco.com they sell the tools, the tools are worth the money as they will be cheaper than the poppers and it will save you loads of agrovation as well as you wont scratch your paint.

p.s, if you do brake one or several, take the broken ones, smooth out the broken bit it leaves behind on the top and reinstall,

i managed to only break 3 on top, but saved 4... enough to get my hands down to remove the weather cover. now, i got the camera wire through the wiper port, but there is no way im gettin the CB cable through it Def going to have to drill it bigger and find a new washer... but i dont have a drill, nor do i ever modify body panels haha so the cdb-ant will remain sittin comfy in the back seat lol.

i got my camera wire through but its a much smaller gauge... the CB wire MIGHT go through but I'd have to cut it to run it as the tips that screw into the radio/ant base are larger then the entire hole itself without the grommet or wires already in it haha.

Backup camera I assume? Very cool. Got some pictures to share?

I'm going to try and tackle my CB antenna wiring today, thanks for the insight, nice to know those kinds of things ahead of time.
