Seat bracket bolt + other odds and ends
So, I realized last night that whoever put the new battery in my car, they only put one of the bolts back in. It’s the triple square 10mm bolt. Anyone have a source for one? Also, the seat rail trim on the back of the drivers seat is gone, and the floor trim right here...

It’s a 2004 but there’s basically a hole there now, and clips in the floor where it’s suppossd to go. I found the door side floor trim in the hatch but not the console side trim.

I would not be too concerned about it. But in case it's not obvious, that's just a regular M10 bolt that screws in, probably M10-1.5, but check first. A regular hex head M10 bolt should fit and hold things down just fine. Certainly better than the missing bolt is doing right now. And any hardware or auto parts store should have a good selection of metric bolts to choose from.
Not sure why they put the XZN head on there originally, maybe as a warning to keep most people from messing with it unless they've got the special socket. Does anyone know why? Other locations for the XZN that I've come across so far are the torque arm on the engine, the door latch, other things on the door, seatbelt hold down bolts. So these all seem like things where they put the XZN there to keep people from getting themselves into trouble.

That shouldn't be a problem if you are going to sort it out. My Porsche Dealer is hour and a half from me... So every now and then I go and check when they get some new clothes collection and buy some more stuff. Not to talk about something If I need for my car. That close...
