GS-Stage 2 winglet/wicker bill t15 screws needed
recently had stage 2 winglets installed on my 17 GS. somehow the T15 Torque screws were apparently stripped when the installer put them on as they won't turn at all. I want to add the clear wicker bill - but can't get 2 of the right side screws out
Does anyone know the part # for these screws or have a set they want to sell? I need at least 2 to replace the 2 stripped ones (IF I can get them out)

Drill them out - you don't need them!!!
The clear center wicker bill comes with 4 longer length screws to hold it on, so you won't need 4 of the shorter screws.
With the Stage 1 or 2 rear spoiler wings, there are 10 screws (5 on each side) that hold the wings on.
With the Stage 3 center wicker bill, 4 of the short screws (2 on each side) are removed from toward the center of each side wing, and 4 longer screws will hold the clear center wicker bill on.
So...you don't need the 2 that are stripped - at least not until you want to remove the center wicker bill, then you'll need 4 short ones to replace the 4 longer ones needed with the center wicker bill.
Here's a picture showing the difference in length - the short ones on the left are used with Stage 1/2 wings (and the outer 3 on each side for Stage 3), and the longer ones on the right are required for the center wicker bill.

OK - I should've thought of that! I may still need to buy the shorter T15 screws just in case
thank you!

Here's some of the longer bolts that I used on my 2017 Z06 to attach the center wickerbill bridge. Very close match to the now $120 GM bolts.
