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.

On the pad I removed (and tossed), the foam inside the little holes had been shredded up enough to block the screw heads. I used a little pick to sort of clean out each hole. The screw heads don't always match straight to the hole in the pad either. It's frustrating and slow. You should be able to see each screw head....should.

The screw heads don't always match straight to the hole in the pad either. Thats the kicker, just finding the damn heads of the screws. One of the pads i removed someone had put a 2nd screw in the hole over the first. so I pulled the screw out of the hole thinking i was good to go, not knowing there was another one hiding back there somewhere still holding the pad on.
