Just wondering if any of you have had success getting these stubborn old rusty screws out. I've been having a heck of a time on the exterior screws.

I used a small tack puller placed under the head with a little pressure along with the power screw driver. The ones that are rusted clear off will at least release the heads. I am replacing them all with stainless steel Phillips
head.

me too, but some are so rusted the square just strips out as soon as I try them. I'm about to take my dremel to all of them and cut a flathead in them

That is what I did. Dremil a slot and hit the screwdriver to drive it in snug and back the screw out. I had 6 on one side on the drivers side top trim piece.
In another place the heads broke off but I was able to grab the remains with a Vise Grip brand vise grip after the trim piece was removed. Do not use low end plyers or you will have a bigger issue.

thanks rick, I think that's exactly the kind of info I'm looking for
