Madeline, are you still talking about the bottom shelf of your grill? You shouldn't have to remove a screw to get that off.

I have seen this shelf on 3 grills one had a small screw, the others had a pop stlye revit
Yes, I was. I think it's actually just were the clip was riveted onto the shelf. It fooled me into thinking it could be removed by it's shape, though. I thought you were identifying it as a buttonhole screw, which I haven't heard of.
I love this look!

Here is durawood (composite) bottom shelf along with trim from a Silver.
I like the look too, though it's a little wet from the rain today.The gray trim and the gray durawood go well together.

That should've been the design from the start - perfect match!

Madeline, not sure if you have removed that tray yet or not but here are a couple pictures. I've been meaning to post these but had to go dig out an old shelf (which you can see is badly rusted). This is the clip we've been talking about. You just need to compress it a little (but watch your fingers - or use pliers). Toward the top of the first picture you can see the rounded peak of the clip there. You need to try and compress the clip a little - flexing it to essentially "close up" the peak just enough to release - and it will pop off the frame cross member.
I'm not surprised there are reports of both button head screws and pop rivets used on these clips. Weber did the same thing on the side burners. I've seen some side burners with pop rivets holding the spring clips and some (probably older ones) with screws. I think the Silver C I restored (a 2000) had screws on the side burner clips.
This shelf (I think it came off a 2003 or so) has pop rivets (last picture).

I've revived a few by using the lower wire shelf from earlier models:

Great suggestion, @JKim in MA . That's definitely an easier solution if @Madeline can locate a wire rack.

Worth searching for!
