    You must be talking about the one between the headlight and the hood, a,, the outher ones are real. There is just a floating nut plate that fell down inside when you removed it. I glued mine in, (Did the same thing). Some have cut a small square out of a pop or beer can, poked a hole in it and screwed it back on.

    yep exactly what i did.. i took the cap from a 2 liter bottle, cut it into a small square (feel behind the hole and you will feel that there is two small ridges back there, cut the piece so it just fits between the ridges, then i poked a small hole in it to start the screw through and used that to hold it in place.. worked like a charm

    I find these ingredients together as a whole clean the cladding pleasingly well: sodium hydroxide, fatty acid(s), Water, amphoteric polymer and a touch of coloring w/perfume. No streaking and no toweling - it is self-drying!

    Just ask the bald man with big ear ring. He knows!

    As soon as I have some time I will paint my cladding.
    I'm ready to see the black pop with the silver paint.
