Rear License Bracket Screws
Ok i decided to install a double magnetig badge holder on the rear license plate holder. Before ordering i wanted to check the installation area.
I removed the plate and then i tried to remove the plate holder well both of the screws won't either tight or un-tight. Looks like the round piece of plastic that the screw goes in spins together with the screw! in both of them!
does anyone know if it is normal an i need a special tool?
does anyone know how can i remove the hatch back panel to check it from inside maybe?
HELP!

SOLVED!
Ok after thinking and giving a seccond look, the nuts need to be pressed so they don't spin with the screw! I'm attaching a pic, i used my fingers to press on the bracket against the Nut and while i did that i used the screw driver (screw driver not shown in the photo, sorry i had the camera on it lol) I was able to remove both screws and tight them correctly!
Try it and let me know if it works for you guys!
