purchased my 8 a few weeks ago, finally was able to get the liscense plate so that I could remove the 30 day tag in the rear window. Only problem was, some idiot at the dealership decided to run a self-tapping screws into the nuts which are under the rear bumper that the liscense plate fastens to. This caused one of the t-nuts to break off. My questions are :
1. Does anyone know the thread size of the nut?
2. Is it actually a t-nut, it has a special shape from what I can tell.

just curious if anyone has details...

Sounds like the dealer needs to fix it.
