a/c shroud

[PaulB12]

OK its a Dometic, can't get shroud off.
Two of the four screws come out, one just spins and the other won't budge. Haven't tried Impact on screw not budging yet(but will). The other has me scratching my head on how to remove. I've tried prying up while unscrewing, no go.
Any ideas????

The screws should not require an extreme amount of force to retract. If the screw is just spinning I'd use a pair of pliers to turn and pull at the some time to see if it comes out.

I think my AC is a Coleman so it might be a bit different construction. My cover is a two piece. If yours is the same, you might be able to get half off first, then from the underside push up on the screw, and twist it out at the same time.

This summer, all four of mine were extremely tight, I assume there was a little corrosion in there. As for the one that just spins, you may need to drill it out, if you cannot get access to the underside to help the good threads catch. Mine are recessed in a well, and I would not be able to get a vise grip on the head.
