Radiator shield/cover

Who knows how to get the screws out of the plastic that covers the radiator? I have only been able to screw one out and the rest of them just spin.

Anyone have any help?

I used a small flat bladed screwdriver to pry up on the screw part of the clip.

Thanks for that tip.

Does anyone else have any ideas on how to remove these?

I use a cordless screwdriver and slightly push up on the screw head with a small flathead screwdriver while it is turning. They usually come right out that way.
