I cannot for the life of me remove these aluminum channels. The screws are rusted in. I will take suggestions now...
Thanks~ Mark |

Sounds like you have but one choice. Pop the head off the screw and drill the shaft of it out....

I'm trying....can't seem to get it done. I guess I will hit it again tomorrow. I need to buy a titanium drill bit to drill the screws. The cobalt bit I have isn't cutting it..(phun intended)
I'm even trying to get in and grind them off too. |

After drilling out the screw heads on one door I was determined not to have to do it on the other...
Spray the whole thing, fuzzies and track with Liquid Wrench, silcone may work also but the LW helps get the screws out. work the fuzzies until you can slide them out (involved use of screw driver and hammer at times). When you get everything out clean around the screws and LW again. Use a proper fit screw driver (small). I also had to use some needle nose vise grips to get two of the screws started...the one I couldn't get to, I got lucky and it came out just with the screw driver. |

PB Blaster is the best for rusted in parts but drilling will probably be the end result. Lubricate the bit. I use high speed steel bits, they do pretty good.

Use a dremel tool and a cutoff wheel to cut a new slot in the stripped head, then use a blade screwdriver and they come right out

I did the dremel tool and no luck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
I did get the passenger side off and changed....the driver I did the following: So I ground the screw head off to level with aluminum channel and then replaced the fuzzy as the track stayed in the car. The screws were so rusted in place I know the channel isn't going to fall off. So I changed the fuzzies, but did not get in new screws. Worked just fine for me. |
