Where are the rivets that you are feeling that are loose. I KNOW they are in the door....BUT where in the door....by the hinge entry areas...at the bottom of the door....where?

DOOR SKIN??? what part do you mean??? The inner door panel.....OR....the painted outer door skin????

by the hinge entry area,and i was refering to the outer skin . With more research i found out that new holes could be drilled between existing rivets,which would work for me
