About the only thing you're going to be able to do is, break off the other bolts, and have a machine shop remove what's left. Mine cost me just over 100 bucks to have 5 broken bolts removed

  5. Pinch weld rust

    So I thought replacing the door weatherstrip rubber would be an easy quick project. Found out the bottom pinch weld has two sections about 2 inches in length rusted off. Part of me wants to put the rubber seal over it and forget I saw it. I don’t weld so is there another option or do I bite...
