Door Hinge problems.....

I was replacing one of my upper door hinges and found that one of the cage nuts in the "A" post of my cab has been stripped out. Not sure how to replce this nasty critter. Ideas?

Just fix the hole with a Keensert, not a Helicoil.

One of the bolts that holds the fender on was stripped out so I drilled it one size larger and re tapped the hole for a bigger bolt. Worked great!
