Broken Hatch Pin Bolts
So I was trying to take off the hatch pin so I could get the plastic and everything off to peel the carpet out and repair the floor. Both bolts broke right off, so right now I've got a big zip tie wrapped around to sort of hold the pin and hatch in place.
Without a welder, anyone think of any ideas?
Thanks always, Sean

ziptie's not holding up very well!
also I've got another issue, after I got the jeep unstuck, the PT light's staying on. I'm going outside in a minute to see if it's really in 4wd or not.

if your talking about the rear hatch latch pin bolts, i would drill
them out for an ezout bolt remover. if that doesn't work drill them out just enough not to hit the threads and then use the same size thread tap,
hit the junkyard or ace for new bolts
