broken gas strut mounting bolt
« on: August 18, 2014, 06:08:19 pm »
The gas strut on my hatch has broke away from the bodywork side and totally stripped all the threads away, any ideas on how to fix the problem. Looks like a trip to the body shop.

easily fixed with a rivnut, need a special tool to insert it, but can be done using a bolt, nut and washers
