Screw spins when closing the panel cover after changing my cabin air filter

The nut - part number 999 500 092 00 - costs a buck or two. It sits in the hole. When the trox screw gets screwed in, it compresses the rubber nut so that the screw and the nut cannot pull out of the hole.

Worth purchasing two replacements from the local dealer or one of the on-line dealers.

That's what I did. Along with some blue, white, and pink inserts. Then I bought a few spares for the engine cover, the wheel wells, the under car covers, etc. Seems everytime you work on the car you find a missing screw, snap rivit, etc. so having spares just makes your life a little easier since the same parts get used in all sorts of places.
