I am in the process of removing the side skirts, and making a how-to. Unfortunately, I have run into a slight snag. [*] After reading the forums, it appears that all the fasteners are plastic. One of the skirts came off ok, but the second one had a fastener I havnt seen before. See the picture (in the picture you are looking up into the jack point well). This is a metal fastener (at the very least it has a metal head). It doesnt have a flared head on it. It wiggles a bit, but I doubt I can pull it straight out. I tried unscrewing it, but that isnt working. The fastener has a single small hole in the middle. If I had the car up on a rack I would be tempted to drill it out, but the car is not elevated at all.
Dos anyone know what this is and more importantly, how I get it out ?
thanks,

[*] OK, thats a slight lie. The first problem was that the jacks I have (nice 3-ton units) wouldnt fit through the jack point cover openings. So, I spent an hour with my head under the skirts (barely fitting), pulling the fasteners off. They should of made the covers a bit wider.
