Hello,
The Lift-the-Dot (now to be referred to as LtD) stud, just behind the door
on the U.S. near the soft top hinge, has widened the anchoring sheet-metal
to the point where it won't stay in the bodywork, even with a new stud with
fresh threads.
I'd sure like to fix this, and I've even tried Gorilla Glue. GG
worked initially with the top's female snap, but the tonneau did it right in.
So, how do I fix this situation? I've been told there is almost no way
to get a goober of JB Weld or the like to the bottom of the machine screw
threads, as access is nearly impossible.
Tod Brown tells me his has the same problem, so if he and I have the
same issue, I'll bet it is really common.
I thought of putting a LtD with a bolt on the bottom, but then you get
into the access thing again, trying to get the nut on the bottom of the
bolt.
HELP !
