Do one side at a time and you should be able to wiggle it out, be persistant

Default They look fairly easy to make..
I proably have some Lexan stock in the right thickness. Cut to width, sand the angled tips with notches, and go.. I'm guessing I really don't need the handles, unless they're needed to pull the unit out. (I suppose I could use the NAV screen to pull if it's mounted securely enough..)
