Look what I found in door

[Mosey]

Look what I found in the drivers-side front door while installing new speakers. I thought a plastic retainer had fallen inside the door and when I reached WAY down I found the nut just hang out.

i bet that was the culprit of any rattling within the door panel Lol

Yup. They left the nut behind to justify only giving you a $25 credit for all the deletes.

One of the heavy truck (semi) manufacturers that I work with builds up the frame and pretty much everything but the engine, trans, cab and sleeper upside down and then has a big fixture that rolls it over before it continues down the line to get the rest added. They have to sweep up the area a few times every shift to clean up all the hardware that falls out. It's 99% stuff that was fumbled and doesn't (usually) represent something that got left off.

I am sure that is what happened. The nut does show signs of corrosion which I suspect is where it was in contact with the aluminum.

I generally dislike when my nuts fall out.

that nut holds the intrusion bar to the door close to the wire harness in the door jam. Check and make sure yours isn’t missing

You identifying that nut is very impressive.

10 years working for a Ford dealership body shop will do that lol. I can take these trucks apart and put them together in my sleep.

I recently installed an oil separator and found an extra nut on the right side of the intake cover. Yup, had they rolled the truck upside down I’d never have found it.

Our new 77 Sport Fury came with a 1/2 nut tied to a string along with this note. Bet you had fun finding this one.
