Broken off screw heads on license plate, help
Need some help replacing the rusted, broken screws(screw heads are broken off) on my 95 civic hb, can't get a hold of them from the outside, need to take off the rear hatch panel to get to the screws from the inside, any suggestions on how to do this? Help!!

Actually I was a little hestitant of posting it considering he hadn't thought of it. If it not somthing your a little familiar with doing that's an awfully small screw to learn on. It's pretty much a one shot deal there. But, hey I tend to learn more when I f*^K up. By the way Alan if you haven't used this method before use a center punch to tap a dent right in the center of the bolt before drilling.

Thanks Justbob, I spoke with a more mechanically inclined friend last night who suggested the same thing. It is a small screw but I will suggest using a center punch to tap a dent in the center. Thanks again!!
