How to remove screw from hardtop?
I had to remove the front latches from my hardtop so I could
replace the plastic "bullet points" that seat into the plates at the top of the windshield. One of the latches came off and went back on without a struggle, but the other was almost impossible to remove. Two of the three screws just barely came out w/o destroying anything, but the head of the third screw twisted off. I drilled into the shaft of the screw and got an ez-out to grab, but the ez-out snapped before the screw would budge. I tried to drill out the ez-out, but it's too hard. I supposed I could try a titanium bit. Anybody have any suggestions on how to get the screw with embedded ez-out out? Both the screw and the ez-out are broken off below the surface. The metal bracket in which the screw is broken off is totally enclosed in plastic, and there doesn't appear to be any way to get at it directly. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!
