Thankyou guys for the fast response time. I need to get the insert piece out in order to get to the screw to remove the door panel. Unfortunately, the car will be leaving for Ozarks on Wed and doubt replacement parts will get to my shop in time. If they get damaged. Poor planning on my part but I will try the hairdryer trick and Xacto knife with great care and see if I can pop it free, with great care.
