Got a pair of new latches for the targa top. Seven horizontal screws and 5 vertical from underneath. Screw heads are buried into the pad. Any tricks here ?I found maybe three of the screws.

Jim, the correct size Phillips is #1 on the list. 2nd, use an ice pick or sharp awl to locate the center of the screw. Often they are not installed straight or do not line up with the center of the hole in the pad. OEM, George's or Mark's. Take your time feeling around. after a couple you will get the hang. Those screws that are vertical are a PITA when the rear glass is in. Not enough room between the handle and glass for your fingers around the handle of the screwdriver when the glass is installed so you may need to grip the handle with a pair of pliers on final tightening or when breaking them loose.
