How about: 1. Remove the keys. You can vacuum under there at the same time (customer is impressed). Also, there's more room to help clear the damper heads from the bracket studs. Maybe remove a few damper heads near the action bracket studs. 2. Leave keys in, but lay newspaper or plastic sheet over the ends of the keys (keeps the stickers from hanging up). I like your idea of the car antennae- saves space in your tool kit.
