You shared it with a dick.

Google rivet nuts and see if you can find something that will work for you. They work like a drywall anchor, fit through the hole and then as you pull it down it swells behind the panel, usually with a rivet gun type puller. But if you can get it to bite, you can install it by tightening a bolt in it. Some are designed to pound in to the hole so it doesn't spin as you swage it. They're commonly used to add a nut to sheet metal from the front like that.

Something about that tow-away photo triggered me so I re-read the thread but didn't have to go past the first post:

I bought it for nothing more than the rear glass, an NLA part.

Strange story arc.

his persona and appearance belied his intelligence. I'm not even sure he knew just how sharp he really was. Maybe that sounds stupid, but I know several people that appear the same...maybe it's a Missouri thing.

Maybe, the only friend from MO I've ever had can be described this exact same way. Except he probably knew because over the course of our friendship he obtained his Ph.D in robotics and AI, fully funded by the DOD. He's hilarious, like he'd be all "Today I tried to teach a robot to interpret what the front of a chair is, so I could verbally order it to move to the right of the chair. It's a lot harder than it sounds. But enough about work, time to get liquored up!"

Sorry for your loss, sounds like the world is worse for it.
