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

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.

That will look real authentic on my Model A!

Fastener wise? No.
