Hey guys,
Had my door panel popped off today while having a play about with mirrors.
But had some issues with the little plastic thread inserts, think bmw call them expanding nuts? That sit in the door itself. They seem to be of a 2-piece design, the problem I was having was that when I came to reinstall the door panel and put the screws back in, these inserts would not grip the door and just spin.
After some trial and error they did eventually grip and tighten up. Now should these be replaced after removal like a single use part? Or is there a method to getting them right?
Just wanted to see if anyone else had experienced the same issue.
