Default how to fix?
Some of my screws for the center console are stripped out where they screw into the dash pad. :rolleyes: Is there any good way to fix this?

The easiest way I've found to tighten up the screws is to put a few toothpics in the hole with some white glue. When it dries cut the tooth pics flush with the hole and then install your screws. They'll hold tight.

There are inserts availble that you can install with expoxy. You can find them at a commercial fastener place.
