I recently had this problem. Got pissed off with it, so gave it a few big smacks with a hammer and it popped out the top.

My repair was a lot more gash compared the bloke above. But I got a bolt and nut and after much swearing bolted it. If its the hole nearer the back of the car like me then it was a PITA. But a ratchet wrench instead of a normal wrench made all the difference.
