    Hey folks,

    is there a good way to remove this rubber thing on the front fender and move it to another fender - i.e. without breaking it?

    Apply the soapy water (or give it a healthy shot of Armor-All) then squeeze the nubbin on the backside with a large needle-nose pliers and get it started back through the hole.
