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 |
