It wouldn't hurt to take it back to the dealership to let them assure you that all is well and they check to make sure both are in place as they should be... Shouldn't be a big deal and wouldn't hurt to check.

Hell, I used to be so proud of the mechanics we had here. That is clearly a dumaflaggie. Goes into the thigamagig.

Got to hit the sack as I am coming down with mung fung la tung.

Never would have guessed it was an air bag bolt. Nice catch.

My friend printed out the schematic and taped the bolt to it. He's going to show it to the dealer and have them check it out. I can't wait to hear their reaction, I'll post an update.
