Of the 12 screws holding the covers on the door sills (4 on @ front door sill, 2 on @ back sill, 8 are so rusted out the first one crumbled when we tried to remove it & the other 7 are going to do the same thing. We're afraid to try to drill them out for fear of drilling into a cable.
Strangest thing is that 2 of the 4 on each front door sill--Numbers 1 & 3 counting from front to back--are sound, glossy, black-coated screws. All the others, back & front, are rotten.
Anyone know (1) how to remove the rusted ones safely, (2) where to get 8 more of the good black-coated kind , (3) how to install the new ones to seal against moisture?
