Removing the Hood Insulation...

No, there is no good way, and I can speak from experience because I just spent the last 3 hours fighting with them.
Suggestion:
1) It would behoove you to inform your wife and kids beforehand that while you're in the garage pulling out the hood pins that they should not under any circumstance open the door to the garage -- no matter how much swearing and yelling they hear they should stay inside at all cost.
2) If you're going to use the fork method, be sure to have a pair of pliers handy so you can straighten out the prongs every so often. Oh, and your fork will be useless when you're done.
3) As one poster stated, patience is key -- this is important seeing as how when you're yanking and wiggling the pins your mind will inevitably wander to a scenario where you dream of having your hands squeezed tightly around the neck of the engineer who designed those insipid little plastic demons, all the while yelling every obscenity in the book!
4) Why in the freaking world, in this day of technological advancements can't we engineer a better method for holding a crumbly piece of fabric to our hood? Is it too much to ask??

But just wondering why this was posted in a 3 year old thread? If it were me I probably would have just made a new thread.
