shop screwed up my GFX!help please.

well its nothing really big but its driveing me nuts looking at it lol, anyway while my car was at the shop getting the alarm installed they had the lamp/light in my car to see under the dash and the cord running out the door into the wall. while the cord is hanging out some guy trys shutting my door and from him doing this it must have put pressure on the GFX and pulled it off the fender. from what i can see it looks like the gfx screw poped out of the funder and now my gfx on the one corder it out a bit and wont pop back in >the hole in the fender is to big from yanking out the screw. i did a pic below so u know what i am talking about.
can u guys PLEASE tell me were the top of this screw is?? i am thinking of just takeing out the old screw and putting a bigger one in so the hole in the fender will be perfect size. is the head of the screw behind the Z28 badge? how do i get it off if its there?? please help me out! thanks

why wouldn't you have the shop repair it and have them worry about it? they should have insurance for these things.

The screw is behind the Z28 emblem. Use something plastic to pry the embelem off. I've yet to remove one without atleast breaking the pegs off. If you do use some emblem tape.
