Default Re: Broken screws on rocker panels. (BEBOP138)

Instead of trying to screw it out...try screwing it in. I was able to remove 2 of the broken screws from the backside of the fiberglass. (between the body & frame). There was enough room between the body and frame to do so. Got needle nose vice grips up inside and screwed them in. Actually turned the screw the same direction as tightening it.
