I had a rattle in the door so took the trim off & its the bracket that sits inside the pull handle of the door trim, the 2 bolts #4 that holds bracket #5 wont tighten they just pop out of the hole when it gets to a certain tightness, any ideas how to make them stay in or I figured I could get a nut & bolt the same size...anyone know the size? :confused:

Maybe just use a slightly bigger self tapper?

Can you take a pic of the threaded part of the bolt against a ruler or measuring tape. I could tell you the size from that.

You will also have to re-tap the hole for a bigger bolt because the threads are stripped in the door

Is this what you need? What do you need to use to rethread the hole?
