Found a bolt......

Hi all,

Just noticed this loose bolt sitting in the seal at the top of the Rear window.

Going to start checking to see where from, but anybody got any ideas?

There are many of those type screws near the convertible top mechanism.

Yep, there's two of those screws holding the headliner to the roof if you open your top you'll see it.

OK, just to successfully close this off, the bolt had dropped out from the front leading edge of the roof section. It is one of a number of bolts along the edge holding the front of the interior trim panel. On checking, all the others were loose so I’ve had a bit of luck really. If it hadn’t dropped somewhere noticeable I’d never have known.

All tightened up now. Pic for future reference in case anybody needs. For the 1 min it takes to check, I’d recommend everyone have a check of these at some point.
