How to fix stripped screwhole for cargo cover button?
Yesterday I was installing the button/screws for my 2009 cargo cover's front flap, and I muscled it a little too hard and stripped the predrilled hole in the back of the seat. Has anyone ever done this also or know how to fix it? Thanks!

Hmm...I'm not sure but I'm thinking...you know those like "inserts" you put into the wall before you screw something really heavy duty in?
Maybe one of those would work...I'm gonna see if I can find pics...
Apparently they are called "drywall anchors"
They have all different sizes/types...I have a few in my toolbox...it may be enough to fill the hole and still let your screw go in...
Super heavy duty...
Should be able to find them at hardware store or walmart.

Okay you got that hole wallered out so much the screw will not tighten down, so if the screw is standard self threading type all ya gotta to do is fill the hole with hot glue. Be very careful and put a towl under the spot your fillin in cuz what ever it comes in contact with it stays in contact with!! this stuff is very pliable after it's squwirtted were it's needed. Give it a few minutes to cool down and put the screw back in. Any hobby store or Sears will have a hot glue gun and there great for other projects also.
Gimme's idea is a good one too, and Quick
