Icon2 CTR wing Bolts BROKE in the CTR WING!!

So my friend bought a ctr wing for 320$ its painted black etc.. w/e.. we were taking it apart and notice there was a rattle in the wing. and i looked at it and saw that the actually bolts that are in the wing some how detached and fell inside the wing.. any suggestion on getting it out?.. only thing i can think of it cutting a hole in the wing.. but yeah how would we go about repairing it afterwards?

If it is fiber glass that will be pretty simple to fix.

You could just shove tons of paper in there to suppress the movement of the bolts and the overall rattling noise they make.

This is what I would do. I have a small spoiler problem too but I just let it slide.

No point in cutting a perfectly good ctr wing..

But op, if your buddy really wants it out, take it to a body shop and see if they can tell you what it is made out of. And how they would reccomend going about fixing it.

Repair it as best as you can without too much out of pocket and sell it. I would not cut into it unless it's to the point that it really can't be bolted back together.

I'm sure someone else wants to deal with that sort of headache, but I wouldn't. They're not rare enough for me to put up with that hassle.
