As the title states, I have managed to lose a striker nut inside of my passenger quarter panel and have absolutely zero idea how to get it out.
I decided that the door strikers were worn out enough and it was a good idea to pick up some strikers from LMR for the $20. I decided to start on the passenger side as that is the side I originally had the problems with, and after removing the original striker, I lost the nut on the other side down into the quarter.
I had tried the bent coat hanger to fish it out but I couldn't manage to get a hold on it, and so far, it's good as gone. I can't install the new striker or even the old one without that nut and now I can't close my door. I really need some help if there's anything that I can do to somehow retrieve it.
I would be willing to buy a new one but then the old one will be rattling around in the bottom of the quarter panel every time I drive the car so that isn't preferred.
I hope someone has had this experience and has some advice on how to get the nut back without destroying the car, I was looking forward to a drive tonight but I guess not lol
I can post a picture of what I'm referring to afterwards if that would be helpful.
