I am refurbishing a 1992 16' Scamp and discovered a puddle of water on the table this morning after a rain. Curtain and upper left ratfur were a little dampish. I suspect a window leak because among other projects on the trailer I have been removing pounds of silicon sealer from everywhere on the outside of the trailer. Something prompted the prev owner to break out the caulk and start going to town. I suspect the rear window might have been the culprit. Anyway...I want to remove the window and reseal but the screws securng the trim ( I believe it is a Hehr window) require a tool I don't have in my toolbox. I looks like a torx head but it has square inset with a little pin in the center. Searched this forum but I couldn't find a reference. Does anyone know what tool I need to buy? Thanks in advance.

Screws Securing Rear Window Trim
Hehr and a lot of RV builders use square drive Robertson head screws. Electricians and Cabinet builders also use them. I have seen Torx screws with a pin in the middle of the drive head, they are anti-tamper screws. Harbor Freight sells the anti tamper Torx bits. I have not seen anti tamper Robertson screws. It might be worth a try to contact Hehr or one of their suppliers for info on these screws.
If you have a Delta TV antenna mounted over the table? Their seals go bad and leak water onto the table top. The antennas are no longer built and parts are not available. The best fix is removal and install a cover plate over the hole on the roof.
