Removing plastic hook/hangar thing from inside cab?

Post by averagef250 »

I'm painting the interior of a bumpside cab right now. Well, actually I'm ready to give it one last wipe down and mix up the primer and I have one last speed bump to overcome. That little plastic clothes hangar hook deal in the upper rear passenger side of the cab has got me stumped. I can feel the back side of it and it feels like a screw sticking through holding it to the cab, but there's no screw head on the outside. I could just mask around it, but this paint job is a really fancy toodah and I don't want to cut any corners. If you know how to get the hook out please let me know. Thanks!

probably a flap on the inside and a screwhead under it (??)

Thanks! As I was attempting to break the hook off and worry about replacing it later, the rubber slid up and off exposing the screw! That's one tough little hook.
