Stripped Threads
Suppose somebody got overly aggressive with their DeWalt cordless drill and stripped out the threads in some of the plastic holes that are used to fasten the body parts on. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to repair the threads in these holes?

Re: Stripped Threads
Check with a local body shop. They will have repair products that can be applied to the holes to either take up some space or fill them completely and re-drill.

Re: Stripped Threads
The large holes that fasten the floor mats and body trim on. I've been into the MCOR so much that I worn them out. And one from the pedal group.

Re: Stripped Threads
Do a search for Rivet Nuts. Grainger's carries them. Harbor Freight has them in the local (Toledo, OH) store, SKU 1210. H.F. also sells a brass threaded insert assortment, SKU 67553. Either works great, I've used both.

Re: Stripped Threads
Try using longer bolts on the floor mat retainers. That usually works well. On the pedal group, depending on which ones are stripped , you may be able to make a new hole near the stripped one and use the same bolt. I see it all the time.
