Discovered and replaced perhaps smallest nut on our rigs. M2x0.4
On the back of the third row seats is the pull strap to raise/lower seat back. The handle stores against the seat back by a small magnet. The magnet in the seat back fell off while grabbing strap to raise the seat back. Found the magnet easily. Tiny screw holding it in place was of course stuck to magnet. The nut was nowhere to be found; it likely fell inside the seat and lost forever.
Went to local hardware store (Menards) and miraculously found a nut small enough. Used dab of thread lock on the threads to hold it in place so hopefully it won’t work its way free again. Also dabbed the other setback holder magnet threads with thread lock.
New nut installed and magnet in place. So tiny.
M2x0.4 nut
Plastic cover removed from seat back.
Need to remove small rubber bumper first, then the trim piece is held in place with two clips.
Red arrow is where the nut would be.
Lower right of frame is the steel hook that secures seat to the D-pillar.
