2013 Kodiak RBSL 221 - Enclosed Underbelly - Remove Fasteners

Hi

So does anyone know if there is a easy way to remove the fasteners that hold the enclosed underbelly (coroplast) panels onto a Kodiak.

They don't have a bolt head, or anything to unscrew them. They seem to look almost like nail heads with a large washer.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I've read elsewhere on here that people grind them off and replace with stainless screws on the Voltage. I have not done this myself (yet) but I am sure I will at some point.

I pulled a corner of mine last year to inspect a leak. Ended up using a door panel tool (for a car), kind of like a crows foot to get under it and pry the nail out. Pulling all of them would take a while like that though. I'd cut them off with a grinder as suggested above.

Well that sucks....lol.... either option does not sound very easy. I thought maybe there was a tool that was made for removing them.

yup your pictures on the other thread are the same little buggers that are on my trailer.

Looks like prying them out is the only option.
