That Darn Fastener

If you know the secret, it’s a piece of cake. A picture of the behind panel view also spoils the secret. A nickle fits in the slot nicely. A ninety degree turn in either direction. The head should only be finger tight, but a slow pull with a screw driver under the head should lift it without damage. A wiggle and giggle of the extended head should clear the fastener components from the hole. I chose to use vice-grips and ripped out the first fastener along with a corner of the panel. All other fasteners were a piece of cake.
