You can't get at that screw, and it isn't necessary. You can install your new flaps easily from the out side with a 10 cent trim fastener. When I installed my replacement flaps, I just pulled off the old one (only had one flap, and it was on the driver's side) and the screw fell away inside the pillar. Then I went to my FLAPS (pun intended) and found a suitable barbed plastic trim fastener about an inch long with a barb diameter that would fit snugly into the hole. My replacement flaps were used, so I enlarged the hole a bit with a drill bit to allow for a tight force-fit of the fastener's head and added some glue for good measure. With new flaps you will have to mark where the fasten should go and drill a hole. Then I attached the flap and pushed the barbed fastener into the hole. Voila! This has worked beautifully for about 5 years now. > Paul Travassos wrote: > > What I want to know before I rip my van apart is how do you get at the > screws from the inside of the van because it looks impossible.
