I can see why heat would not work, the bolts are behind the Headliner. maybe if the rear of the Headliner was dropped down, you could get better access to it. the bit size is definately a M8.

I just removed 2 of these at PNP for the first time. just make sure the bit is well seated, the one side was in pretty tight, and gave me some trouble. just make sure you are at the right angle to the bolt head. I almost stripped this side.

This bolt isn`t a run of the mill Hardware store bolt. definately a Dealer item.
