Drilled a small hole in the inner structure behind the marker light on a Silverado once for the same thing. The key is bending the tip of your pull rod just right to catch the back of that crease. A little heat from a torch on the high spots before you pull helps a ton, too.

Got caught in a sudden downpour trying to work from a bench once, laptop barely survived lol.

Remember my buddy's old truck? He called me freaking out because the trip meter read 777.7 miles exactly as he pulled into his own driveway. He said the gas gauge was also on the seventh line, and the clock said 7:17. He just sat there for a minute laughing, said it felt like the truck was giving him a high-five for finally making it home after a long day.
