On this, the holiest of Jalopnik holidays, do not forget to take your car into your local Mazda dealer for the door latch recall.
Because fasteners.

I like them. The driver fits satisfying inside the fasteners.

I hated them on my XJ and hate them more on my BMW.

See? If those were Torx bits you'd have out the grinder and a ramset gun :3

It's not a real fastener until you need a .22 round

True story - we used a ramset gun to get the ball joints off my XJ's front axle (after trying literally everything else). One loud bang and sparks later, dad had a chunk of ball joint stuck in his cheek and I had a great story.

Those were probably the ones it rolled out of the factory with. I'm not sure if it is fortunate or sad that I don't have a ramset gun.

I shall assume fortunate.

I have a .22 rifle so I could just sub that, right?

It should work great for lead-filling body panels, but make sure you drink lots of beer to calm your nerves before use.

Fastener wise? No.
