Factory 'roof marker lights' flew off = Can't get the mounting bolts of the roof

Factory 'roof marker lights' flew off on highway= Can't get the mounting bolts of the roof

The bolts just turn, but wont come off---Any suggestions?

I now have two outside cab lights and 5 holes/bolts sticking out of my roof... Looks Terrible!

Tack weld the nutserts to the roof sheetmetal so that they don't turn. Or wick some drops of superglue between the nutserts and the sheetmetal, it might hold it enough to get the bolts out. But you'll still want to tack weld the nutserts in place if you are going to use them again.

I can't see what you have sticking out, but, don't dispair, you could get a little creative and install or glue some stainless steel polished carriage bolt's/nuts or attractive fasteners or another type of reflector (glue using urethane adhesive, etc) on the roof. Something along those lines might make it look dressed up.

I suspect a little browsing around ebay you can come up with a cheap attractive solution that would look great and maybe even better than before.

Maybe some black plastic bolt caps .they are sold in different sizes.

I don't know what it looks like but maybe mount some off road spotlights to the bolts instead.

Why are we replying to a thread from 3 years ago? Either he got it fixed or his roof is rusting out by now.
