Roof rack problem
 

While removing rack from car the screw turned too far and the nut fell off. Now everything is in pieces and I am having a mental block on how to get the nut back on the screw with the pieces put back together. Anyone have this problem?

Dont you think the NUT is the problem?!, any replacement?

Nope, never.

Mental block cleared
 

Everything back together.

Same thing happened to me. I tried to put the back support rail on the front, turned the screw out too far...and kerplunk.

It was a royal pain in the butt to get it back together properly, but eventually I got it. Won't make that mistake again!

I had this problem... Ended up using crazy glue to attach nut to the backbone... Stupid, but worked.

That is pretty much what I had to do as well!
