Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Odd question possibly; but I've been regassing the aircon and had to remove the screw holding down the cover that is next to the battery cover under the bonnet ... there was one screw holding this cover in place that went into a rubber grommet that protrudes through the metal skin ... I assumed this means it was secured inside the wheel arch in some way, but I can't see it ... and now I have lost whatever grabs the screw to fasten it .... am I going mad (probably) ... is there a knack to this?

POST 2Original post

If it the fixing I am thinking of, the rubber grommet has a captive nut in the bottom. When the bolt is tightened, it pulls the nut upwards so the grommet squashes and spreads out under the metal to hold the fixing in place.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

OK thanks - that would make sense ... so I assume I've lost the captive nut for ever now!
