Retainer pin in front wheel housing
Recently when I had a look at my front brakes and suspension, I noticed a loose retainer pin in the passenger side front wheel housing. The pin is about 7 cm / 3 inches in length and its position is pretty much at the top of the wheel housing.
When poking around in the hole with the pin, I couldn't feel anything beyond the hole. I have no idea how this pin should be able to perform its retaining function without having anything to plug into on the other side of the plastic wheel housing.
Anyone else has noticed this pin? Does it also feel loose in your cars?

That appears to be the wrong pin. I remember that the "fins" go all the way to the head.
The one at the apex of the wheel well should be a screw, IIRC.
