Default Easy question.

Hey guys. A C5 guy here with a quick question related to a 1960 my uncle owns. He's restoring his car and all of the interior screws have stipped the threads in the holes where they were mounted(on the fiberglass interior components). What is a good fix for this problem if the parts are still good otherwise(say on a door panel for instance).

you can fill the holes back in with expoy or fiberglass then redrill the holes to the correct size. or you can use wall anchor that you would use for sheetrock
