i use an L shaped wrench wrapped w/ electrical tape, works like a charm. i find it easier to get into the door bolts w/o touching the door . the ones like you have look like they would scratch the paint. Rock out with your **** out.

I guess I could go pull one, but I was curious if any one here knew.

The Craftsman sets go on sale all of the time for $20. That might be a Craftsman Tool Club thing, but it doesn't cost anything to join and saving $20 right off the bat is a pretty good deal.

Default 2 bolts under the freedom panels on the 4 doors

I think he was refering to the bolt on each side under the Freedom Panels.
This might be on the four doors only?!?
But its a good point, if your going to get out the wrench, you might as well use it!
