2003 Camry trailer hitch installation problem

I'm installing a Draw Tite light duty hitch on my 2003 Camry. The two driver side welded nuts either don't have threads or they are so rusted they are nearly gone. I tried to drill and tap the threads on one and really screwed it up. The hole in the nut is now bigger that the 7/16 bolt. What now? Can I tap it for a 1/2 bolt. Is there a self tapping bolt I can use??

2006 Camry - radio interference

I just purchased a 2006 Camry LE (4 cylinder, 41,000 miles) two weeks ago so I'll be hanging out here. I noticed today when I push the rear defroster button, the radio goes "static". I'm assuming that since the antenna is built into the rear window that the defroster is somehow interfering with the radio reception. I can easily take it back to the dealer but wanted to know if this is something I can fix on my own.
Thanks

Just wondering -- does this occur only on AM? If so, I don't know if it's fixable.

It happens mostly in overcast to rainy weather on FM stations. I noticed it the second day I had the car while driving through a storm but thought it was the radio stations and not the car. On Thursday, during another storm, when I pushed the rear defroster, the radio played static; turn it off and the radio played normal.

In that case, I'd recommend taking it back to the selling dealer. I would think they would fix it on their dime -- was there any kind of warranty?

Just the remainder of the powertrain warranty but the sales manager is a friend. I don't think there will be any problem with the dealer fixing this.

It turns out there is an issue with the rear defroster that is causing interference with the radio. They are replacing the rear window.

Tomgreen1000 - Did you ever get an answer regarding your noise? I just purchased a 2010 Toyota Camry SE and I am hearing a noise only when I first start the car and the vehicle has been driven a few feet - the vehicle has to hit between 7 and 11 mph for the noise to occur. The service tech is saying it is normal. What was your final outcome.
