Door panel pull handle screw retainers?
Does anyone know where I can find what holds the door panel pull handle torx bit screws to the door.
The car came with the passenger side door card pulled off and there is nothing to hold the screws to the door, it's just two holes. I checked with a mirror inside the door hoping they just fell inside the door somewhere but no luck. I have the screws just nothing for them to bite into

at 4:30 in the video he has a good look at them, and mentions the size of the screws. Not sure if that helps.
if not, hit up vettenuts or vettevillains, they've got everything....

The question is how in the hell and why are they missing?!

yeah seems really weird. however - if they are press fit, the door shell is just fiberglass maybe someone tightened them to tight and ripped them out.
if you could find some nuts or the rivet nut/nutert things with the right threads, might be able to epoxy them in from behind?

Might find something off this site, https://www.ovesco.com.au/brands/mar...eaded-inserts/ either way I'll figure it out. I'm still trying to get the car registered my bank is being stupid. Once I get my plates on, I'll drive it to a few bodyshops that are corvette friendly and see what they think or can do to get the door card back on.
