nah, if you cut the pillar careful enough I bet you could wiggle the sealant free between the glass and a-pillar.  then just slap a bunch of bathroom silicone in there when you're done.  

I think I got some grout matched silicone somewhere lol

have you gone McGuiver on it yet and broke out the dental floss?

also 4 more posts and this will be in slot 7 of all time replys ( I can't count but I bet we could get it to the top 5)

I have not yet. I gave it 15 minutes yesterday but it's jammed. Lets go

I wonder how much time that we all have in “helping” in this thread?

[Jesse J]

[Jesse J]

we still need a 25th page to over take that 2.5 no start thread

Give it time.  We can get there if we try.

I'm assuming you're referring to MacGyver?     I bet he could remove it with his trusty swiss army knife.

Indeed I was, you forgot bubble gum

Ok, in all seriousness. Get a hammer and chisel or something equivalent and tap the screw so it is angled up then get a good #2 Phillips screw driver on it and turn is counterclockwise. If the screw head drops down again just tap it back up. Needle nose vice grips would also have it out in a few seconds (not by yanking it out but by turning it out). This thread will never die as long as that screw persists so let’s put it out of its misery.

needle nose vise grips do NOT work I tried. chisel is smart though

I’m guessing you couldn’t get them to work because the screw head is angled down to close to the pillar? Long thin metal object should work to tap it into position.

yep exactly

[ghetdjc320]

Give it a shot. Post a video if you can’t get it to work so we can see how your going about it.

[Jesse J]

I am at my moms house right now but I will give it a shot when I can

[jdog]

I would take the hose pick and stick it in from the top side and see if you can press the tip down to get the head accessible

 

we also should be close to 8 pages

[ghetdjc320]

Bring on page 8. I just don’t see how we can go from removing a screw to a stroker build and axle swaps. Master the basics of mechanics first. Not to be harsh but clearly it would not be advisable to move straight from a stuck screw to an axle swap, engine build, suspension mod etc.
