Hi, I have recently removed my 3rd row seats and the captive nut under the wheel arch has snapped off. Does anyone know how to get to the captive nut? At the moment I have a bolt half screwed in and can't remove it.

G'day Ryan and welcome.
Usual procedure is to introduce yourself on the intro page and maybe put a few details on your personal 'file'. Actually, it's pretty mandatory as we're a sociable mob and like to know.
However, while you're doing that a few thoughts.
If the nut is sheared off, is it still fixed to the bolt? Must be I guess.
Can you belt it through? You'd need to have access to both sides of the hole though to 'fit' a replacement (if you need to). Has the nut actually broken off or is the thread stripped allowing the bolt to turn? If that's the case I imagine you could turn the bolt but not get any/much lateral movement.
Presume you've slid under and had a look?
Can't think of anything else.
Luck,
Col
