Default Stripped Screw holes?
I'm in the process of restoring the interior on the 92 and the previous owner had stripped out a lot of the screw hole in the fiberglass. Any ideas on how to fix this?

The backyard mechanic in me thinks a toothpick would tighten things up. But I think those spring clips might work.

Good luck!

Stick a bent piece of solder in the hole and screw the panel on.

I put JB Weld in holes that are stripped. Of course then you have to wait for it to cure before drilling a new hole.
