Have you ever.....
Found a couple of bolts in my driveway about 3 years ago, couple of weeks apart....have no idea what car or where they might have come from.....so I saved them.
Decided to finally put new door weatherstripping on my 95 and to find out why the passenger door glass seems so loose.
Take door panel off (again), take old weatherstripping off, peal back the foam liner and then wiggled door glass. Wow...the bottom of the regulator is moving....it is just hanging from the top.....get under door and yep...the two bolts that secure the bottom of the regulator are missing...hey...
...where are those two bolts I found at.....got them....put them back where they came from.
So after three years, the bolts have been returned to their home. And the door closes without a bang....even with the extra effort it takes now due to the new weatherstripping......time for a

We used to pick bolts up while in the junkyard and save them. Then, we occasionally would toss a few under the collector cars my neighbor has just to mess with him. That, and a few well placed drops of used engine oil would freak him out.

I found two screws in my center console and couldn't find anywhere they went to. then the other day when I repaired my climate control buttons I found out the person who installed my HU didn't put the two bottom screws back in on the bottom section of the plate that covers the HU.
I also have one extra screw left from when I replaced my outer window seals. Guess i'll take the door panel off sometimne to see where I missed putting it back in.
