Kidding me?? I love JB weld, it has gotten me through so tight situations. A must have for every MKIII owner!! ::w00t::
^sooo soo wrong. jb weld is a temp fix. not for anything to fix right at all.
i would weld it if you can. just remove the battery and you will have easier access.
i dont even have one...:nono:

I've owned at least one MKIII over the last six and a half years and have never used JB Weld. I don't like doing temporary fixes or patches, I like to do things right and only once.

The battery is already out due to other work on the car. I'll have to look into welding a nut on there. I wonder if just any auto shop would do it...?

Why not just use a Tap? Its extremely easy and pretty cheap. How big is the stripped hole?

The hole is about 9 mm in diameter. It looks like there used to be a threaded part attached to that hole, so it's not like it's just stripped, the threaded part is gone completely. The diameter of the hole in the tie-down bracket is also 9 mm, so if I thread it for bigger it won't fit through the bracket...
