Default Roof rack delete gone wrong!

Wasup guys, I bought the kit to delete the roof rack and apparently the parts where you insert the bolts fell inside of the roof. Does anyone know what the part is called so I can order it or know of a solution for getting the bolts in to fasten?

Have you tried using a magnet to fish the anchors (nuts) out? The magnet is referred to as "telescoping magnet" and the wand looks like antenna. You can stick the magnet in from the side [you can see the larger hole]. Once you grab the anchor you can position it in the right spot with the magnet and then capture it with the bolt. Then hot glue in position.
