Default Trim tab remover?

I'm going to be installing my bushwacker flairs tomorrow and following project JK's write up I need a trim tab remover. What is it and where can I buy one? I have all the major stores in my area. Thanks

it's basically a forked shaped pry bar for popping out the plastic push in rivets. Find a tool truck (snap-on , mac, matco.) or some auto parts stores that sell tools.

any auto parts store should have it... tip: finger tighten the bolts prior to ratchet.. PITA el-cheapo bolts it comes with have a tendency to lock or crossthread.. GL
