Default Stripped these two bolts, what can I do now?



The bottom left one is where I was able to get it partially in but wouldn't budge past that.

During my process of replacing the radiator, thermostat and other thing, I guess I got a bit too impatient with removing/installing the bumper support bars (unsure of the exact name) and stripped them, one on both sides. All the other bolts (3 on both sides) are in there perfectly. Also guess I managed to loose one of the bolts. For a temporary solution I'm just gonna leave it as the other bolts are holding it fine. But what's something I can do to fix this ? I appreciate all help! Thanks!

Go get yourself a Helicoil set, it is easy to fix. Just add a little threadlocker so you don't push the coil out the back. Let the threadlocker dry before you put the bolts back in.
