I’m in the process of stripping the targa top down for restoration. Can’t seem to get this front pad off. I can’t see the screw heads and I don’t want to strip them. I’ve looked in my Haynes manual, searched the board, and Googled. No luck. I give up.
Is it a Phillips head and if so, what size?  |

@DC_neun_vierzehn
I removed a pad today and all of the screws were hidden behind deteriorating foam. I used a 1/4" drill bit turned slowly by hand to remove the loose foam until i could remove each screw. Use some canned air to clean them out. Look in with a flash light to find the screw head. |
