I checked my old doors and the don't have threaded nuts?
I checked the receipt and the doors say 1972 doors?

has anyone run into this and what did you do?

I'm guessing either drill them out or find smaller diameter door panel clips but they will need a big head to still attach to the door panel

Do your doors have the hole under the wing window on the inside? (where the arrow is pointing) If not they may not be '72 doors.

You can probably find smaller clips with the big head. Try NAPA if you have one close.
