    I forgot to look before i put down the sound mat and carpet. Is the mount for the headlight beam selector threaded holes? Or can I just shoot some selftaps into it?

    It is a hex head machine screw. You can go under the car and push a nail or ice pick throught the holes to locate where they go.

    The torque box is in that area...I would pull back the carpet and look for the holes.

    Forgot about that under there - so that blocks off locating the holes that way. The way I read his original post, I think the problem is the sound deadener is glued down.

    It's that sticky tar stuff. I could probably find the holes
