Am doing minor repair to the Admiral's '02 Mustang Coupe and need help. On the bucket seats there is a bracket to hold the seat belt. The bracket is loose; the screws need to be tightened. Now the problem! I cannot get the headrest off;(comes up about 2") I can get to the screws with a stubby screwdriver; but cannot determine what kind of head it is. A #1 Torx won't fit; and none of my T bits wont fit either. It looks like a Star.
Called Ford Parts; they can order the screws (which I don't need); but they can't tell me what kind of head it is. Naturally they will repair it; (85 bucks). Any help?

Can give a update! Thanks Mr Dodge. Got a coat hanger; shoved it down the notch; worked it around; and it worked! Trick is to keep the wire in the notch. It takes a T27 wrench to tighten the screws. Thanks for the help!
