Cabin Air Filter screws

[SHO5OH]

Anybody have an easy way of getting these things off? I tried using a Phillips screwdriver and pretty much warped one of the screws. I tried using a flat head to get under one but that didn't work either. Any suggestions? Thanks.

From what I understand, it is normal that they break. I know that mine did when I changed my filter. I however, just bought some from the "help" section at auto zone. Got a package with like 8 or so in it for about $5.00

Well from your replies, I guess there isn't an easy way to get them off without breaking them so I'll just go buy some and be prepared. Thanks everyone.

I assume and I think everyone else is assuming your talking about the push pins that hold in the cowl which covers the seperate water drain above the cabin air filter?

Those push pins break all the time, they are cheap to replace, no biggie.

I replaced mine with #10 x 1.25" black weather proof phillips screws.
