After a year's break from working on the car I'm back! A few of my interior pieces that are held on by screws have been stripped out. Probably from me when I removed them 10 years ago. It seems a lot of them are just screwed into thin sheet metal. Is there a trick to get these "threads" to grab again? A search brought up "time-sert and helicoil". Never used either but it looks like neither would work on these sheet metal threads. An example of where these threads are stripped would the interior vinyl cover/pad at the windshield pillar. Thanks in advance, |
