My daughter has a 2009 base cabrio. Her door panel came apart.
I took a look today to see what I could do. There are two fasteners that screw into sleeves. The sleeves pulled out from where they are supposed to be anchored to.
I know this is a horrible explanation. The pictures should help clarify.
What can I do to repair the panel? Do I need a complete new panel? New fasteners? Can I remove the “sleeve” that’s currently on the screw and glue it in place - and after drying - screw the panel together?
Appreciate any ideas/suggestions. Finger pointing to one of the two fasteners that have pulled free
Disassembled the door panel a bit further and found that there were a total of 5 screws with brass inserts, all of which had pulled out. I glued the inserts with 2-part FastCap CA glue. They seem to be holding (for now).
