Voila! the job is done...All in time spent actually about 1 hours plus, the stripped nut takes the longest <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />** edit: i changed a few plastic clips (got from ebay) for a lot of 50pc... its very cheap and good if you always open the door panel (sound sytem,diy etc...) The door panels (all 4 of them) are now as tight as... no more creaking sound <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
