Joe Lee Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Hello All! Today, I’m replacing the screws that attach the bay doors on my 2002 Windsor. Seems it would be easy … drill a hole into the frame using a drill bit for hardened steel… right? I’m having no luck at all. Has anyone replaced these screws and if so, what did you do? Thanks!

jacwjames Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 I've replaced those screws and the screws that hold the belt molding metal in place. Just bought pack of jobber drill bits the right size and drilled the holes. Is the old screw broke off in the hole, this would make it hard to drill it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re-drill another screw next to it? The simplest solution might be the best solution. Just sayin'. - bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacwjames Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 If the old screw is broken off you might try (carefully) taking a nail set punch and try driving it through the hole. Drilling another hole won't solve the problem of having an open hole that would be visible. Maybe someone else has another thought on your problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
