If they're the ones I'm thinking of, they're called scrivets (as in screw rivets!) But yeah, they're designed to be pushed in in one second flat, and spread out the base to hold things down (as a rivet does) but able to be unscrewed (never the case). Just get a tiny screwdriver, get it under the edge of the centre part of the screw and without pushing down hard unscrew the screw part. Sounds easy, and really it is. This should get even the most stubborn ones out. If not, if you can get your hand under neath the bumper part, squeeze the parts that are on the bottom of these scrivets so that the thread on the thing can grip, and unscrew itself whilst you undo it

Hope this can help you out in some way :)

A small fine (1-2mm flat blade) screwdriver can often lever the centre pin out.

Or you can drill out the centre (obviously requires a replacement then).

Everytime i took one off, one of the side cracks, :lol: because there so old & hasnt been taken out for a lonnnnng time (5-6 yrs) so i just replace them with bolts or something.
