I have a couple of my knobbed security screws from my Zumo, but can't get the stock security screw out of the cradle--it seems attached to the cradle somehow, and I can't get grip on it to pull it out. Any suggestions?

I never used that screw because the driver was attached to my key ring and vibrated out and was lost a long time ago
Instead I make sure it clicks into the rugged mount and I have attached a lanyard(like the ones used for security access or ID cards) and wrapped that around the stem of the mount as a " just in case"
The Montana has 'never' come loose even through the crap roads of Russia and Kaz, and that includes a lot of off road due to road works
I am thinking it was not in place properly in your case. I don't believe I have have read of anyone else on the Montana thread losing one out of the cradle once inserted correctly, that thread on ADVrider is now 5,000 posts long
