2005…e2. Under the trunk is a cover for rear battery access. It’s held on by plastic screws screwed into plastic hole inserts. Anybody found a way to reattach the cover…like drywall anchors or such.

I use 3 anchors that came with it without the screw and only one anchor with a screw. It was tough to get out and I haven’t had any issues with it popping off with that method of attachment.

@Bolanger I epoxied “Speed nuts” to the bottom side of the Spat like these

This is the fastener I use for all my battery installs.
