Hard Top Knob Won't Back Out

[mamadukes]

I recently tried to take off my hard top panels and when trying to remove the driver side panel, my knob won't back out. It was very difficult to turn which has never been the case before. After uses a pair of channel locks, I'm able to get the know to turn but it won't back out. HELP!!!

While turning the knob, put a flat head screwdriver between the knob and the frame . while turning the knob apply prying pressure with the screwdriver to help back it out. Just a shot that may work.

^^Agree^^
Or push up on the top while unscrewing.

My guess is the nutsert is either stripped or broke loose.
