Default Removing 2000 coupe sideskirts question

I feel like an idiot because i cant do this. There are three screws along the length of the skirt. I've researched it and it says they screw off like normal screws. BUT mine dont, they just spin and spin.

Am i doing something wrong? Is there some special trick to getting these things off?

Nice post, and sig.

The guy is trying to be cautious and asking for helpful advice. Do what the previous couple have said and gently pry (with leverage) while unscrewing the plastic screws.
