Three years later, I stand corrected...

I SWORE these black connectors had pins that COULDN'T be released by pushing all the way in.
I found out just the other day otherwise, but it's major force that's needed, and the black pins seem to have a tendency to get permanently lost up above things and not fall down on their own or be findable with a searching bare hand wiggled all around.
Out of five fasteners I recovered two pins.
Then, three of the five had one or two of the plastic spreading fingers snap off, which kind of means they're ruined.
But it's almost impossible to dig the heads out and pull the pins outwards, either. You're damned if you do, and damned if you don't.
I managed to do the pushing in first with a skinny allen wrench, but that only went a little ways in, then it needed a harder push.
I had a Sears "Professional" electronics-type screwdriver, bit size 3/64", and that had a fat knob at the end of its handle and I was able to put enough pressure on it to force the pins to pop up clear through.
But they're far from 'very easy' to remove that way - - there are other push-the-pin-thru type connectors on Saabs that do push through very easily, notably those on the mirror-fastener cover plates on C900s.
