ARGH stupid bolts in our cars

OK!! so, i was following housecor's writeup on how to remove your rear deck blah blah to take care of the rattling. everything went fine and i finished and was putting everything back. one of the seat belt bolts will NOT go back in. i have no freakin clue why. i tried switching bolts and NONE of them will go in. so i know it's not the bolt, my only guess is the threading inside the whole is messed up. the thing is, it came out fine so how the hell did this happen!?! has anyone else had problems with this? my back seat is all apart and it's too dark now to keep dealing with this. i literally spent the last 2 hours trying to get that one lousy bolt in. think the dealership could help me?

note: it's not one of the bolts under the seat cushion, its one of the bolts under the rear deck...

You probably need to retap the threads in the hole to make the bolt go back in. It may have locktite in the threads which could make it harder to restart. It could also be damaged from the removal process.

just take it out start to put it in with your hand first, then tighten it with a wrench.
