I started this process because I wanted to get to the back of my license plate mount. When the dealership put the plastic bolts in the washers they managed to smack the bottom two flush, making it impossible to get to them from the front :mad:

Anywho... since im taking things apart might as well...

If you have the right bit, dremeling out the plastic inside shouldn't be too hard at all.
