Replacement retaining nuts for 2012 California under seat toolbox

[BEN TAYLOR]

Can anyone advise on the subject title. I just bought a new (second hand) Cali and the toolbox was out for inspection when I arrived. Never thought to check for the nuts to put it back. They are small black plastic with a brass female thread as shown in photo. Any idea of where I can get them?

Personally I think it is a silly place for the Toolbox as it means the boot has to be emptied to get to the Jack or, in my case, the removable tow all. I took mine off and push the boxes I use further back and have the Toolbox at the boot lip for easy access. Sorry you can't have my redundant Plastic wheel nuts as I used them to cover the bolt ends.

I think they are M6 so these should do it.

WG, have you removed the stop in the rails so that the rear seat will go fully forward? Plenty of room to get the toolbox out on ours with the seat forward.

No. I just want access at the rear for the Removable Towbar which fits in the Toolbox as I have a towbar bike rack.

If I remove the rear stop in the rails, open the tailgate and ask them to pull the seat slider handle whilst accelerating rapidly, can I eject unwanted family members?

I left both those screws out , the toolbox stays in place , specially becouse i carry three plastic boxes in the boot witch are almost a perfect fit leaving no room for the toolbox to accidently pop out.
TIP : @WelshGas , you could leave the toolbox in its place without the screws as i do and fill the booth with stuff .
If you need the toolbox in case of emergency , just slide the bench seat all the way forward and you can get acces to the toolbox standing in the sliding door....having not to empty the booth....

I get your point HC, but I use my Towbar a lot and my way makes it easy for me. On campsite Toolbox goes on Multiflex to access Camping box and once set up goes back as I don't need access until time to pack up. Whereas I frequently use the removable tow bar, so open tailgate, open Toolbox and fit tow bar, key and cover back into toolbox, much easier than having to pull seat forward and back each time. I'm getting on you know.

I leave our towbar on all the time now after being gently rear ended twice last year. Definitley saved damage to the bumper.
