Tabs in Vino/EdgeStar Help needed

I have a customer that has one of the "old" Vinotemp / EdgeStar units that measures the same as an EdgeStar unit inside but is a Vinotemp. It has the little plastic tabs in the slots that the standard units don’t have. I vaguely remember there being discussions in the past about "knocking" them out but would rather have someone who has done it describe how they did it. If you have done it could you please respond here so I can pass on the information and also have a place to point people in the future with the same question.

Thanks in advance,
Chas

It's pretty hard to screw up. I hit down with a hammer and they popped right off. I hit in a couple times and it too more off, but still not too much. It made me nervous hitting in though so I hit down on the vast majority of them.

Just get a pair of pliers or a hammer and gently knock them off... once you get one or two down the rest are quick. I think I used my hands and just snapped them off to make sure I didn't break anything.

A hammer is so much more fun and efficient though.
