Dude! This worked on my Toyota Matrix! The left bolt broke off evenly/flush against the gate. I ran up to Ace and grabbed some JB Weld. I didn't have to shear off the ends, I just put a large nut behind the plate and screwed into the new one to fill the gap! Saved me a lot of hassle and time! Thanks!
Seriously. People criticizing the guy for having a solution in the first place and being willing to share it. If they don’t like the solution, just click another link!
OR .. pop the plastic off on the inside of the hatch and remove the bolt from the other side. There is literally like 1/2" of bolt sticking through for you to grab
@@MileHighInTheSky If the screw on the inside of your car is rusted off, you have much bigger problems. 🤣 You could save yourself a lot of time and just drill a hole in your hatch , stick the bolt through and put a nut on the other side. Faster and more secure than epoxy, but hey ... what do I know. I don't make videos "helping" people do stupid crap to their car. 😜
What I do would be to grab some of those stainless steel rivet nuts, mushroom them down in a vise, and then hammer them in the back. Of course you have to get rid of the rusty old one first.
i mean i get what your doing, but when i put new plates on my car last week i just used 2 self tappers with screw covers and screwed in to the bodywork.
Hi Kim. I said you could also use a file, You can use vise grips to hold something too. And you can use a hacksaw to cut the bolt. or just buy shorter ones
use a hack saw and a file and glue. thats 3 things. And a screwdriver. Its been a while since I made the video but I thought I even said that in the video.
