How to remove cargo net anchor loops?

Anybody know how to remove the 6 anchor loops in the trunk that are used to hold down the cargo net among other things?

Long screwdriver through the loop and just unscrew them?

Pry them up?

Dont want to risk breaking them.

Thanks in advance.

Vrodman,
There's a plastic cap over the bolt. I could pry them off with my fingernails, one stubborn cap came off with a small screwdriver. The clip has a lip which is on the inside of the cap. So pry from the outside in, towards the center of the car.
The bolts underneath are torx.
Good luck,
Ed

Various internal skin panels inside the trunk will not come out without removing them. For example that black plastic panel in the floor of the rear (near the back seats) of the trunk. This panel is right underneath the floor piece that you pull out to get to the spare tire. Routing various wires from front to trunk is best suited to go underneath the black plastic panel..

Plus, the side panels toward rear of the trunk may need to come out if I have any issues with main amps and such.

That's why.
