Screw broke off while switching rear plates
This may sound like a dumb question but while i was changing plates, when i was trying to remove one of the screws the head broke off. Is there anyway i can get the screw out?I know its a long shot but it doest hurt to ask....

soak teh remains in penetrating oil (liquid wrench, not WD40)
grab what's left with a pair of pliers... turn coutnter clockwise
you can get to them either from inside the trunk lid, or outside... to get inside, remove the trunk inside cover and away you go...
i replaced all my steel bolts with nylon 6x20 1.0 machine screws... and i lubed them with superlube grease before install...
