Mk5 gti bonnet brace
« on: July 15, 2023, 09:41:09 am »
How’s it going
Have been having a bit of trouble trying to take out the arm or brace which holds the bonnet in each corner not sure what the proper name for it is. Basically over the years the plate cracked from opening and closing the bonnet and has recently snapped in half. So I have a new arm but it seems the bolts which hold it to the car not the underside the of the bonnet are threaded or something. They loosen but then just spin and spin and spin without coming out On the other side I can remove them fine.
Has anyone ever had anything like this happen or and ideas what I could do?
Thanks
