> Tonight I set about working on the hood frame.

> windshield frame.
> I poked the holes for the small bolts through the new plastic covering,
> started to turn the bolts to tighten, but got no grip.
> "Odd", I thought.. So, I got to poking around and discovered that there
> is nothing there for them to tighten into!

> I suspect there was, at one point, a metal plate with threaded holes
> within the frame, and it has since slid somewhere inside the frame itself.
