Retrieving lost bolt in 2018 Hyundai Elantra Frame and Replacement Hardware for Draw-Tite Hitch
Question:
One of my bolts went into the frame. I need another bolt, washer, rectangle washer, nut and 4 wire things. How can I pay you guy for this? What is the best way to get the old bolt out of the frame? Is Great Stuff recommended to keep the old bolt from rattling around like it is now? Or try to take it out? I tried a magnet but no luck. Thank you

In order to replace the bolt and other parts for your Draw-Tite # 24931 you will need to order the Replacement Hardware Kit for Trailer Hitches # RHK. Enter the hitch item number and select the manufacturer below that.
As for your bolt in the frame, you might try a different or better magnet. A strong magnet could also potentially move the bolt from outside of the frame but that is a long shot. They also make fairly cheap fiber optic cameras for cell phones. You might be able to get the bolt if you can see in there depending on where it is.
If you aren't able to fish it out, I would see if you even notice it moving around while you're driving. It may not be an issue at all. From what I have found, it sounds like using Great Stuff would not be a good idea. It is likely you will trap moisture in your frame which will lead to rusting.
