Don,
    When I took the radius rods out of my car I had to torch off
the bolt head from inside the boot and punch them out that way
    The glass will catch a bit but if you keep a wet rag handy and
a helper you should be o.k...........this might be a last resort in 
your case though seeing as it is a finished car..
        Good Luck Dave #5577
