Car didnt come with one. Its a special allen key. You can often pick one up in those cheap sets a hardware store sells. They have a really cheap screwdriver like handle and a whole stack of different bits that fit into it.

u mean none of the FTO's came with the special allen key? that's strange... so what is the name of the special key? does it have a code or something?

Not that im aware of. Dont know why they put those there. Usally they use them on computers and things to stop people knicking bits out of them, but cant work out why they used it on the sunroof - hang on, just had a thought - maybe so that if you had the roof up and had the car parked, so the screws couldnt be undone from outside the car.

well that's a good point, but i thought that japan rained a fair bit, leaving your sunroof up might result in a wet interior? oh well, i'll check out the usual stores after my exams finish... if i managed to find the name of this allen key, i'll let u know

I was able to unscrew them with a screw driver that fit into it. And then cos it has in dents in it, the screw driver stayed still and winded it open. Hope this helps.
