I went to take the plastic radiator cover off and the bolt broke right at the top. A clean cut right across the top. Now the other half of the bolt is stuck in there. So I tried the other one and the same thing happened. Now only the middle bolt is holding the cover on. Is there any way I can fix this?

I def cant get a vice grip on through the top. I am gonna see if there is a way through the bottom. Do you think I could just drill the hole screw out but then that might damage the threads so I dont know.1995 3.4L M5 Camaro<br />Bullet Performance Exhaust, K&N FIPK, Stage 1 clutch, Short shifter, Hotchkis STB, Taylor Ignition wires, NGK spark plugs
