I am SO sick of dealing with these door panel screws that are "WELDED" in place with RUST.��
I just bought 1/4- 20 cage nuts and when they arrive, I am going to replace the old screws with stainless steel hex bolts and washers. Has anyone else tried this?
It seems to me that I would never have to worry about the screws being "welded" in place anymore. Screwdrivers are useless against these screws whenever this happens.
