I was in a fender bender recently, and I bought a new hatchback (from the same year/model/color car). It is ready to go on, but I can't get the old one off! I took off the support struts, and now all I have to do is take off the four bolts that old the hatch to the hinge.

One came off fine, but the other three are rusted on there. On top of that (literally) are plastic covers. Do those come off? If they did, I could probably get these bolts out.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

 

the plastic covers will come off...but the bolts are similar to carriage bolts the heads are rounded, nothing there to get a grip on...get a breaker bar or use something to get some more leverage.
