Two screws holding the front turn signal lens on. The bottom one comes out, the top one won't budge. Any suggestions on how to get it out without destroying the lens?

The screw is attached to the pot metal turn signal bucket, and is probably corroded into the bucket. I'd try to remove the entire bucket (accessable from inside the front wheel well - remove the mounting bracket and electrical connectors) from the fender, then keep the area moist with WD40 or some other penetrant for a day or two, then the screw should come out. Obviously, I'd be rather careful to reccommend any heat as the lens may distort or melt.

By having the unit out of the car and upside down, you should have a better penetration of the WD40. If you want to do it easier, you could try a penetrant carefully around the screw head, but I think the removal would be the most effective.

Good Luck!
