Torx Screws, Which Are Fake
Ok guys, so my vision isn't too good up close and I can't tell the difference from the fake and real screws on the door panel in Camaros, but already found a good pic on that. So are there any more fake screws? I'm mostly concerned with the trim panel around the rear defroster and cig lighter (on 82-89 camaros)
Thanks guys
Alex

Re: Torx Screws, Which Are Fake
i agree with JamesC , a small magnet is a good helper . i was very frustrated with the same problem . i now use it all the time when working on the interior . good luck .

Guilty. Stripped a few already. Magnet doesnt sound like a bad idea...
