Re: Firewall pad push-pins.....
When I press the hard plastic ones in I heat them ever so slightly with a heat gun and they become much more pliable and slide right in.

Re: Firewall pad push-pins.....
Eric,
I just put my heater box and firewall pad in tonight. I tried like hell to put those plugs in a real pain in the butt. I ended up drilling the hole a little bit bigger and they went in with no problem. I used a number Y drill, I think it measured .404 inches. Jason

Re: Firewall pad push-pins.....
If you are doing multiple cars, hit the junk yards and pull as many of the rubber originals as you can get, you will go through a bunch just to do one car
