I did some searching and got differing results.

Is the cage nut in the door 5mm or 6mm.

Thanks in advance - cheers!

If you look at PET, main group 8, sub-group 7, illustration 807-05, items 11 and 19 are definitely called out as 5mm screws. Granted, it's difficult to tell exactly where these screws go from the illustrations in PET, there is, however, no 6mm hardware specified anywhere in this sub-group, which includes the door panels and arm rests.

It's hard to tell the difference between 5 and 6mm hardware sometimes. The one that drove me nuts for a long time was the nut that secures the strap that holds in the glove box. I kept finding it loose and tightening it up, only to find it loose again in a short time. Turns out, it's a 5mm stud and a 6mm nut will go on and even tighten, up to a point. But a little more force will cause the nut to jump a thread or two, loosening the strap again. I finally replaced the stud with a 6mm one.
