if you mean the top of the mudflap, the part that is attached to the painted
exterior sheetmetal, then it is not screwed in.  there are two metal prongs
that fit into two holes in the sheetmetal, held in place with  plastic
grommets (like this: http://tinyurl.com/ndmum).  my mudflap fell out (in my
driveway, luckily), so i bought two new grommets and pounded it back in with
my fist, and then rebolted the part that goes under the van.  to remove the
mudflap, i bet you could pry it off with a screwdirver or something.
