Sorry Peter I can't help you but am wondering, shouldn't that nut sit in some form of cradle to make it captive, but with some adjustability, otherwise how do you change strikers? Surely the gurus can advise. Cheers Ron

Yes it can move around a little but is (supposed to be) held by metal tabs inside the panel. It (should) sit there by itself, this also holds it rotationally so you can tighten the striker. So to fix it properly you might need to cut something open anyway :-(Sorry Peter I can't help you but am wondering, shouldn't that nut sit in some form of cradle to make it captive
edit: sorry bad advice removed, you can only get to the vent area via the boot
