Some trouble removing battery M coupe
I'm having some trouble removing the battery. Seems like roadsters and coupes having slightly different battery mounts. There is a tab or clip along the bottom of the battery mounting area. I hope the photo shows up below.
There looks to be a plastic screw that holds this clip in place, which on mine is stripped but I am able to get a 8mm socket around it but turning it does nothing to loosen it up. Not sure if it's supposed to be removable. This clip is preventing the battery to be slid out. How do I get this off to be able to get the battery out or is there some other way to get the battery out without taking this part off? |

Those plastic screws strips pretty easily. It's similar to those used on the top plastic radiator cover. Try to get something to grab onto it and pulling it out as you turn it counter clockwise. I just replaced mine with a push expanding rivet

Anyone know the replacement part number of the screw + expanding rivet? Or what size plastic push expanding rivet to use? |
