Greetings my friendly Oldsmobile fanatics! Right after I bought my Cutlass I was cleaning out the glovebox and found these.
Can anyone tell me if they are a legitimate part, and if so, what are they and what do they do?


Thanks,
Dave

 

They are "keys" to un-lock a newer model (90's up) radio for removal from the front .

 

Bottle openers for double fisting beers

 

Lol...sometimes these old cars make us wanna double fist beers...maybe that's why they were in the glove box😀

 

Whuuuut? Every 90's series car, and 2000+ I've just removed the valence trim pieces and then it's a matter of either a couple 10mm or 7mm bolts holding the radio in.

 

They slide in on each side of a radio unit between the radio chassis and the mounting sleeve. You can then pull the radio out of the sleeve.

 

 

So that's after the radio has been removed from the dash??

 

I have a set of those in my toolbox . I was a truck mechanic and I used them to swap music radios in Internationals , Fords, and Macks . Starting in the mid ninetys .
