I was installing a radio bluetooth kit, doing so I lost two sockets in the stereo/shifting area. I am guessing the best approach to getting these back is by taking the panels (in the picture) out. Can someone give me some details on how I can do this. Hopefully me car wont rattle.

 

You can go on the way you originally did, and use one of these thingies:

worth every penny IMHO.

good luck.

 

 

I wish you luck. I did the same thing and lost one bolt, but cut my losses and left it there, no rattles to date. I'll probably get to it in the summer and I was worried I would crack the trim working in the cold here.

 

Lol thank you, there is one socket for sure I can get, it is wedge in under the shifting column, all I need is a magnet. However I think I am going to just call the 10 mm socket a goner.

 

I've had this magnet / light forever. It has saved my @$$ on multiple occasions.

Here's one at amazon that's very similar.

Well worth the $10.

HIGHLY recommended.
