Hi,

trying to remove both rear wings, bottom two screws on leading edge of both stuck fast, drowned both from front and behind with penetrating oil, but no joy, any tips?

It's standard. Grind the heads flat, centre punch them in the middle and drill through them with increasingly large bits until you get to a 4.2mm hole then tap M5*




*Assuming there's anything left of the C pillar to tap into.

the wing is off, impact driver got it free, i wanted it off to cut out rear seat belt mounting, and weld in new ecas replacement. unfortunately now exposed more rust holes behind c pillar, below belt mounting, a few more plates me thinks,

thanks for advice
