Underbody Bolt Replacement

[golfmk6r]

Hi everyone, just took possession of a 2011 R. I noticed the underbody bolts have been stripped on mine when replacing my exhaust, and now i cannot replace the centre brace as the nut wont thread on.
Would it be possible to replace those bolts? Has anyone tried it?

as far as I know, those are studs that are welded to the unibody. You might be able to get a die on it and rethread it to a slightly smaller size, but I don't know about replacing them.

Thanks, i guess i will need to look for a local body shop to have a better assessment
