How can I fix the rear L plate mounting holes? (more)
MY '01 Avant had metal panel clips that the L plate screws went into. When the car was sold to the dealer that I bought it from they detroyed the square holes that the clips went into when they removed the L plate since the screw had rusted to them. I'm left with 3 of the 4 square holes enlarged and rounded. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there a different plastic clip that will work in a round hole? I've tried the new plastic ones that come on the current models but the rounded holes are too big for them to grab anything.

I'm off to Lowes tonight to see what I can come up with...
I will definately let you know if I find something that works. I have used well nuts before in similar situations however I don't think we have the depth we need. I want to say they're about 3/4" long
