Elmer Fudd Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 (edited) Went to tighten the two bolts that hold the interior light/locking handle for the roof, and surprise surprise the nuts have snapped and won't tighten 🙄 how the hell do you change those? They appear to be integrated into the roof bar. HELP!!! 😲 Please 😄 Edited April 23, 2021 by Elmer Fudd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
map Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 Have they snapped or is it that the captive elements are no longer.... er..... captivated? A photo would be helpful so that people can see exactly which element you're referring to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TROOPER88 Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 (edited) The captive nut / plate will have broken. You need to buy a riv-nut tool idealy. This will insert a new threaded collar for you. Edited April 23, 2021 by TROOPER88 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
