Door Panel Nuts

Finally got my interior door panels in the mail. Put the passenger side on and was about to do the driver side when I realized all 4 of those square type nuts that go into the door and hold the bottom of the door panel on are missing. Looked around online and couldn't find em anywhere.

Anyone know where I can find some?

Re: Door Panel Nuts

You can get the plastic ones at the hardware store and I think brothers sells metal ones that clip in, both work equally well.

Re: Door Panel Nuts

If you have a local hardware store, or an ACE Hardware, they sell the metal ones. Those type of nuts are called capture or cage nuts. I went to ACE and bought 8 of them for under 2 bucks. they clip in the door, nice and easy

Re: Door Panel Nuts

I used the square "nuts" that come in the license plate fastener package.
They are nylon/plastic so they won't rust. Just press them in the square hole, and "tap" them with the 1/4-20 screws you're using for the door panels.
