What fell out of my deck lid?
I was mounting up my 3.0 emblem from Kyle at Rebadge when I lifted the deck lid and heard a little "tink" then found this clip nut in the channel up front under the window. I found one in the PET, but its on the left side of the car on the gas shock, and its much smaller. I poked around for 30 minutes trying to find where it came from. Ideas?

Female end of a fastener. Look for loose or missing cheese-head screws.

It's a speed nut, the kind of thing that might hold the engine compartment light in place

That looks like one of the speed nuts that attaches your condenser to the deck lid hinges. Look on both sides and see if one is missing. Should be an M5 bolt with a washer screwed into it from the outside of the hinge securing the condenser.

I had the same thing it is the backing to the speed but that slides over the hole that holds the condenser to the deck lid. Careful when you shut the deck lid without it. My condenser chipped the paint above the deck lid....
