I have an 02 base and I am trying to remove the driver side (and passenger I suppose) factory threshold/sill which contains only the front and rear trunk release switches (I don't have the seat memory option).

I can see that on the inside of the threshol/sill there are two plugs. Once removed I can get the tip of a screwdriver in there but can necessarily "feel" a torx head. I know it has to be ther but does anyone have any idea what size it is??

I am trying to remove it so that I can refinish it. It seems the previous owner had a habit of dragging his/her feet across it causing the rubberized finish to peel. Underneath I can see black plastic, the same color as the original finish. I'm either going to peel the rest of it off and leave it, or paint it a flat black color.

Thanks,
Jeff
