Ok so went to change my top mounts after a while of them knocking. Unfortunately, this is what I found...

 

Looks like the left bolt is snapped and the right one has snapped the mounting not the bolt? What the hell has someone done to this...

 

On a level of "one" to "justin bieber in prison", how screwed am I ? 

Jesus, how the hell did that end up like that???

Don't panic had this happen a few weeks ago on mine. Looks like ones broke off below the surface and the other one left enough to get a nut on.

I had to cut a hole inside the boot and broke off the captive (it's only tacked on) the used a nut and bolt to secure. When I get chance I'll be tidying up the hole an fitting a suitable grommet.

If you can weld you could always weld a new nut on afterwards.

Looks like that may be the only way. the one on the right looks to have taken a piece of the body with it...

so there is no "plate" as such in the body, just two spot welded nuts that the TM bolts go into?

Where the nuts are welded on there's a plate for them to sit on, it has a gap in it for the top mount to sit in.
