I made a 2 prong tool to fit into 2 of the holes. I then can use a 10mm socket to undo them

My genuine fuse box cover back fasteners being a little too short, I've solved the problem making one with two of them, a thread inside and a good glue maintaining both parts together.
In the end I've added 10mm to the initial length, increased from 23mm to 33. Not very pretty, but solid & efficient:

Here is now the result:

As you may notice, the mechanic (?) who changed the carpet wasn't a delicate expert when cutting it around the holes...

But do you have eyes at the end of your toes, don't you?

Nevertheless it works!
