Subject:Chin spoiler attachment
From:mordo

Here's small item that has become a major annoyance: I recently replaced a
missing chin spoiler piece with one from Jordan VW. The threaded inserts
that are press-fitted into the sheet metal spun loose as I tightened the
screws. This makes it impossible to completely tighten the screws or to take
them out.

The only access to these inserts is through holes in the chassis sheet metal
taht are not really very near the insert location. Anybody have any ideas?
I've tried pulling down hard on the screws as I try to back them out to no
avail.
