I look under the car today and see this metal thing hanging from the brake line that goes to the pass rear wheel :confused: I get under the rear to have a closer look and see that it is a small metal rod about 6 inches long, that is bent in a square at one end, and with a J hook on the other end. I figured out where it came from....one of the upper girdle bolts is missing and I cant figure out what happend :mad:

why would a bolt be missing from the rear? I have never removed any of the bolts from the girdle since I have owned the car. It also looks like it recently broke off because the girdle is clean (no dirt or grease) where the bolt used to be.

sounds like the bracket that holds the ebrake cable.....my brackets are not attached to the rear after i installed my cover.
