Default Factory CD / Sub box

I have a '99 C5 with a factory CD changer in the main cargo well that I relocated to the well on the far right. The changer had 4 screws holding it to the back wall of the car, and the heads are on the outside of the car, which I can not get to. So I can not remove these 4 screws. Ordinarily I wouldn't care, but these 4 screws are preventing my stealth box from sitting flush in the cargo well.

Does anyone know how I can remove these 4 screws? Or do I have to cut them out?

If you can't get at them from the outside of the car (the best way, no matter how much aggravation), then use a dremel-type tool to cut off the portion inside the car, then seal the ends with something like an undercoating spray.

Cutting is my last resort...but I will if I have to.

For anyone that dropped in a sub box and had the stock changer in the well, what did you guys do?

Is there any way to get at these 4 bolts from outside the car? I looked under the back bumper but didn't see them.

If I remember right I got to the screws by pulling out my left inner brake light... try that. I know I did a lot of stuff through those holes

Cut them off with a drimmel, grind the lip and pop them through. Then just silicone the holes.
