The fix, maybe? was: Weird Question...

OK so far.  I'm VERY lucky in that it's a fairly warm, sunny day 
although the forecast was for possible rain.

I removed the glove box and found, as everyone said, that reaching up 
to the area where the tonneau studs screw in isn't possible.  I was 
able to determine this with minimal blood loss. ;-)

So, I mixed up a batch of JB Weld and, using a plasic knife, started 
putting the JB Weld into the holes where the studs screw in and also 
covering the surrounding area.  I coated the threaded part of the studs 
and screwed them in finger tight into the now gooey holes and we'll see 
tomorrow if the repair will hold.

If not, you'll all be happy to know the local dealer has a fix that 
*will* hold, he suggests I remove the studs and tonneau cover and put 
them into a 2008 MX5.  

I suspect this may cost more than the JB Weld? ;-)
