Still quite easy even without finger nails, just make sure your pushing on the plastic cap and not the rubber seal or they start to bend and won't go back.

No fibreglass had touched this.

Made a dip where the finger flicker thing was and filled it with body filler. Smoothed it all off and then skimmed across a thin layer of filler make sure it was all smooth and level.

When I make mine I use fibreglass paste to bridge the hole then small layer of filler over the top. to smooth it out.
