I walked into the spamspam yesturday only to discover a flying object, bracket of some kind falling to my feet!.

Can't understand which direction it was coming from. Not from the light above and the windows were closed

I see dead people!

what kind is it? if its not a 'star key' then it isnt belong in the car... if it is then hmmm... dont drive over big humps?

(in AU anyway, screw arround the boot area are all star key) i reckon most likely to fall off are those 4 tie down hooks in the corners

I found one too on the second day i had my car.
But i couldn't find a place where the screw should be.
Just thought they lost the screw during the assembly of the car.

And it hasn't fell apart yet...

I found the same.
It turned out the screw is from inside the cabin. (The latches that you open to release the roof, if you open the latch you will find a screw there.) Mine had vanished and made its way to the boot somehow. Simple 2 second job but took the Monkeys a while to work out where it had come from.

Well the latches go into the boot with the roof so quite possible

I found also. it was under the drivers seat (in seat rail). I never asked the dealer about the screw. I think someone has dropped it
