I was removing the JCW front strut bar when 2 of the strut tower bolts snapped off on the passenger side. It appears they were either seized or were over torqued by the original dealership (I have the paperwork of the installation done by the out of state dealership.) Two of the strut tower bolts literally sheered right off. One of them is still good and I managed to tightened that one down. I'd assume it's unsafe for me to drive it to a dealership (about 20 minutes away) or to a mechanic to get it fixed. What am I looking at in terms of the repair?

 

After doing some research and reading how-tos and etc. It appears it is unsafe to drive the car. Crazy how 3 weak bolts are holding something like a strut in place.

It also appears, it is relatively easy/cheap to replace these bolts. It's simply removing the strut, knocking the bolts out and punching new ones back in. I have a buddy who might help me out with this later in the week. No GP driving for me for a couple days.
