You need to buy the special plastic and steel inserts that go into the hole. One time use only so by extras incase you screw up.

No need to get at the hidden side of the body, just push the buggers in and then screw the mudflat stud in. Then fit the mudflow on the stud.

VW dealership has them, used on other cars.
