Spin lock questions
 
Installed my spin locks this morning using the great tips I found on this site. A few problems.
1. Dropped small socket with Allen head into the abyss that is under the bolt hole. I could see it at first, got my magnet tool to get it and it fell further down where I can see it. Took some more covers off but no luck.

2. After putting everything back together I find this on the floor. Should I be concerned about either?

Thankshttp://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1504546877.jpg

I don't know what that part is. If you didn't completely remove that panel you loosened up the top bolt on, you can and that might help you find the socket. That's what I had to do when I put my spinlocks in and dropped something down there. I don't think it will hurt anything if you leave it though.a

No biggie unless you need that socket. The black plastic piece is a screw guide for the screw that holds your side carpet/trim in place.

Tried taking the panel off and removing the big panel behind the seat. No luck, cant get my hand in there or even see it. :mad:

Took it apart again to put that piece of plastic back, you were right its for the screw to go into. Thanks.

Still can't find my socket though ☹
