Re: Fascia Removal

["vin2450" <svw_coco@xxxx>]

Hi, I just removed mine the past weekend and had one of these bolts 
spin in the captive nut as you mentioned. I tried using a hack saw 
with no luck. The best thing I used was a bolt cutter to cut the 
head off the bolt, it worked and thier was no damage caused to the 
facia by this process. The head broke loose and the bumper slid off 
with no other problems. I just need to order the new clips which I 
beleve are worth about 30cents each. Good luck,
