Removing / replacing towing socket cover

Having done it several times touring round France, prepared with trotally unnecessary 20p and 0.10 euro coins, I was going to be very clever and advise that if you take the alarm remote, and press the little silver button, a tool pops out which turns the plastic screws perfectly well.

But Slimer said it, in the second post. And in a lot less words Embarassed .

Use the key.

The metal bit of a standard dealer key fob works well - as does a standard bottle opener (not the twizzly type - obviously Rolling Eyes )

So am I the only one to use the end of their ignition key to get these off? I gave up on using coins as the key fits sooooo much better.
 I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
