Boxer air filter screws rounded (1 Viewer)

[Boringfrog]

I'm sure this has been asked before but a search doesn't seem to bring up the correct post. Trying to change the air filter on my 2010 Peugeot Boxer but the four screws holding the filter housing lid are all rounded, has anyone found a fix?

Thanks Boringfrog.

Try putting an elastic band over the head and using the screwdriver bit on the rubber... if that doesn’t work try an easy out type bit

Simply use a dremel with a cutting disc, cut a slot and use a normal screwdriver,
Other makes are available,

Can you get the air box off with the lid in place?
Are the screws easy to get at or are they in recesses?

If yes to semi recessed, use a small sharp chisel on the edge of the screw head and gently tap the screw round.
If they are easy to access use a junior hacksaw to cut a slot in the head and use a screwdriver.
Replace screws obviously
