Add my thanks, too, Ltlferrari!

Also add this link to the Fiero Store for how to adjust your windows when you manage to erase<?> your bolt markings on the door! http://www.fierostore.com/Tech/Default.aspx?Id=365

Why doesn't anyone just remove the glass to enable access to the screws?

I suspect because it's fairly challenging.


The PDF linked above seems to be unavailable, annyone have a mirror?

Dew wipes - long job but really not all THAT bad.

Get an air-wedge like auto locksmiths use, couple nylon door wedges, and the smallest-head 90 degree ratcheting Apex-bit driver you can find (used to be a Husky 1/4 and 5/16 dogbone, discontinued. Now Autozone sells it as just the 1/4 apex side.)

Grind a #2 phillips apex bit to very low profile.

----

Tools referenced above as "Dew wipes aren't that bad"

1/4" & 5/16" 15 deg reversible ratcheting dogbone
(Home depot) - Husky pro - 66604 (haven't been able to find on for a couple years)

1/4" 15 deg reversible ratcheting driver
(Autozone or AdvanceAuto?) Toolworks - '1/4" bit reverse gear' '1/4 bits ratchet' chrome body, yellow handle with black overmold

Air wedge
(Menards) - Win-bag 300lb.

Nylon door wedges
(Most truckstops) - Automotive lock bypass kit. It's usually in a large clear flat clamshell type package, red & clear bag to store parts. It's also got a bunch of wires, slimjims, jigglers, strap tool...
Chainsaw wedges (to hold saw kerf in wood open) work just as well. Usually bright orange and softish plastic



For the really bad screws that are camming out, pump the door open enough to get finger between the ratchet head & window, let air back out so . It'll hurt, but it gets them to break free without messing up stuff. Also a dab of 'valve grinding compound' on the bit goes a long way.

--
Then you'll just need to tell that useless cut-apex-welded-to-a-stick 'dew wipe tool' that somebody sells where it can go... sideways, until they have to find a doctor to remove it.
