They seem like steel ones, but do they have some sort of clip underneath them that prevents them from being unscrewed?

Just use something thin to get in between the gap and lift it up as much as it can go, then use a screwdriver and turn it the proper way, while still lifting underneath it with the other object.

Posted 03/06/08 09:23 AM Share Posted 03/06/08 09:23 AM Ford call them "scrivets"....I call them one of the most stupid ideas Ford ever came up with They come loose, they rattle and, as youve found out, there a pain in the ass to get out sometimes. Why they couldnt just stay with good old self tappers locking into a plastic spreader clip amazes me.
