2 inaccessible screws on window sweep

Bought new window sweeps. Took the door panel off and removed all but two of the screws for the old window sweep. Two of the screws are blocked by the window even in the fully down position. Can't find an offset screwdriver small enough to get in there. Anyone solve this problem before.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Re: 2 inaccessible screws on window sweep

Thanks JamesC that helped. I followed the general idea of that thread and cut a phillips bit (for an electric drill) to a very short length. I taped it into a box end wrench and we were in business.

Thanks for finding that thread!

Re: 2 inaccessible screws on window sweep

I installed mine too so i just removed the inner window sweeps so I could move the window and it made it easier then from there I used the same way as that thread, it worked great and I didn't even use that thread.
