I am in the process of removing the dash of my 97.
This is weird, I am unable to remove the shroud that covers the multifunction switch. Per the service manual there are 2 screws, one screw is missing and the other is not a Phillips head, torx or allen wrench. Never saw anything like it. The head of the screw looks almost triangular.
Has any one ever ran across this?

Sounds like someone had that panel off before and replaced a lost torx screw with a screw your talking about. They do make triangular tips.

Thanks for your replies.
Was stuck on stupid! It was indeed a torx.
I viewed the screw with a mirror, flash light and bi-focals.
