So uh I tried googling this but it just doesnt look right from what I saw
BUT my hatchback had crossthreaded threads and cant put the stock bolts back in.
Whats the tool name that rethreads the threads so I can put new one ins and I can have a fox with a bolted down hatch again.
Links or anything would be great too.
Thanks you bastards

Tap and die sets get really expensive but are definately worth the money...they save a lot of time and hassle. |

If your thread are stripped badly then you probably have to open up the holes and put threads in it for a bigger bolt. Or like Spector said already you may be able to use a helicoil which will also require you to drip a bigger and run new threads in it to screw in the helicoil. You may be able to get by with just running a tap throw the hole to straiten out the threads but IDK I'd have to see it. BTW make tap and if you drill it bigger make sure you use the right size drill for want ever sized thread you run.
I don't know what size threads your dealing with but here is a chart giving you the thread size and you drill your suppose to use.

well I can get the bolt half way in so I know the thread gets crossthreaded halfway in.
Think it be better to straighten the threads out?

if you can start threading something, and the threads aren't completely stripped out, just tap it... the tap/die set will come with a thread indicator... match it up to the bolt to get the proper size... then run the tap in it'll fix up the threads -- the threads on the bolt are all okay, right?

Heres the spot without the bolts
The Bolts themselves
