One of the bolts that attached the original AFM to the original air cleaner housing
Very possible, but I would be surprised that it didn't bounce out of the engine bay a long time ago. The MAF has been on the car at least since 2010 from the previous owner.

Also possible; I did replace some studs and bolts when the water pump was changed in 2018. I'd be happy to part with the coolant tank if anyone wants a one that can't be seen through!



Plans for this weekend, pending free time, are to change the oil, flush the coolant, and repair some sunroof clips. The plastic sunroof hinges are cracked on both sides. I've ordered the OEM plastic replacements and hope they work out. Otherwise, there are aluminum hinges available or full billet latch kits. Hopefully the plastic replacements will be OK.

Small pieces for the sunroof have arrived. The roll pins were easy to remove from the sunroof latch pieces, but not so easy to go back in.

Does anyone know the proper tool to compress the metal roll pins for re-installation?
