10cm wide plasterer's knife. Prised mine in relatively quickly with that. Tricky at the corners though...

Trouble with the two methods above is one slip in the wrong direction, and the A pillars, scuttle or roof need repainting. Once you've used the correct tool, especially one with a roller, you won't want to do it any other way.

Got a pic or link of the tool used Brian?
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.
