Boot pin advice (without it causes a horrible rattle)

[RichG60 0]

Hi guys I recently picked up a boot pin which my car was missing as below :-

 

 

Now I went to fit it but can't see how it stays in position, there is a hole in the boot lid but I have nothing else to mount it with:-

 

 

Can anyone tell me what im missing or even a picture?

 

Thanks

Take the ring off, put the pin into the boot skin. and push through the hole, then put the ring on the pin and tighten it up.

I think anyway... might be the other way round.

Toad knows his holes :lol:

The hole looks like something is missing though, it's just an empty cavity with nothing behind it. All I have is the pin as it looks in the picture.

There is supposed to be a plastic ring with the pin to do up. I think it might be missing. The pin doesn't go into anything it just goes through the boot skin and clamps up with a ring on the threaded section.

 

i'll find a pic.

 

Here it is. There's a plastic threaded plate for it to screw into.
