broken hatch strut bolt

Hi,

The T50 bolt where it connects to the body broke off while I was closing the hatch...

I'll try dealer, then junkyard. Please let me know if anyone has any other suggestion!

thx!

update:

apparently the dealer dosen't have it, so I will probably get a stainless bolt the correct thread size and lenghth, then stuff a bunch of shims to make up for the thicker part...
let you guys know how it turns out!

thx!

You can always check the junk yards, or give a place like Hawk's a call and see if they have any laying around. They may not have them listed, but I'm sure they have them.
