Default Bolts stuck in hatchback

Recently i decided to put on an oem spoiler on my z and somehow the bolt was off by literally 1mm, so now its touching the steel around it and their is no way i can get the bold on correctly, so i took it to the body shop and asked them to install 2 bolts for my and they lost the bolts inside my hatch and now there is a rattling sound every time i drive. I was wondering if you guys could help me find a way to get them out? Maybe a super magnet? lol Thanks guys.
The place where im supposed to put the bolt:

Good luck buddy!! I have the same problem I was installing my nismo v2 spoiler and I dropped a 10mm socket in there as well. Ive tried everything to get it out and nothing!! Taking sharp turns to make it roll to one side and maybe get it out with a magnet. I drilled wholes about an inch in diameter right by where the hinges are, to see if I clould get lucky and get it through there and nothing! so I gave up! Its been in there for about a year now. And yes it is annoying!! when that ishh rolls in there!! Lol.

I just left the panels off and drove around. It took about 3 days before it fell out. You can try a magnet on a flexible shaft, you may be able to get it.

Im sure you can remove the hatch otherwise other members on here would be able to install cf hatch. Although I dont think that would be much help.


I have left my panels off "hoping" it will come out but no luck either.

drill holes, spray expanding foam, encapsulate and leave it in there stuck and it wont roll around to make noise...

If u want to take the hatch off- you have to take the 2 shocks off then pull a little of your headliner off then where the hatch connects to the car there are 2 bolts on each side that come off with a 10mm socket. ( located under the headliner near the top of the trunk)

Not a good idea, it can and will seperate the skin from the structure if you do this. There are many pics around of attemps on hoods, it destroys them.
