removing rear hood.

[glenc]

I am trying to remove my rear hood so that I can have the rear window replaced.
The bolts that hold the the rear hoop to the body are rusted and will not budge.
The screw heads are worn and I cannot get a grip on them with a screwdriver.
I have tried penetrating oil but no good. Any ideas please?

Undo the Nuts instead.

Easily access via the boot, just need to pull the carpet back a bit !

I have tried the nuts. They are siezed to the bolt. I have tried penetrating oil but no good. I can get a spanner on the nuts but can't grip the screw because the heads have worn.

Either use an easyout to hold the head or just drill the heads completely off, I take it you won't be re-using them.

Thanks John, I will give it a go.
