removing the front jobbie

Every night when I arrive home from work and park up the scorp, I make it a habit to remove the front of the 7000 sound system jobbie so that no little light fingered git decides to remove the whole lot for me. BUT just to remove the radio front takes the will power of a saint and the nimble fingers of ...oh I dont know mmm a nimble fingerd person. Any road up, It takes me bleeding ages to remove it. Any tips chaps?
fumbling ferret.

The only trick that I have is to flick the release button and that seems to eject the radio front rather well .. If I do it by moving the button it is as you state a fiddly job to get it out... You could also try warming the plastic clip on the back and carefully bending outwards slightly, but that is very very risky... Opticians have a heat source for doing the frames and the like and thats what they do.......... bend the stuff... but as I state its fraught with danger

You could put a dab of tipex on the wee knobby/clippy thing to help seeing it in the dark .
It's putting the b****r IN that infuriates me , lost count of the near collisions i've nearly caused
while jiggling with it.
Or you could move to a more salubrious and less criminal part of the country and leave the bloody thing in place!!

to be honest i don't thing ford radios are that likey to be stolen they looking for the nice radio cd player, tape decks have no real price on the streets ( more drugs for a cd than a radio )

Thanks guys, Snoopy...I might give the little clip bending a go, failing that as you all seem to think I shall leave the frontage in place.
