If a person was so concerned someone might see a non-factory-spec fastener, wouldn't they simply replace the console completely?


I supose you could just throw away a good part in need of a little TLC, instead of actually fixing something. More common these days it seems. I did not see that he was not wanting it to show, as the door will hide the work. Just needs help getting the screws to hold in the old plasic.
Lot's of good advice otherwise. Except the speed clips will not work. The counsel is solid plastic and no place to use a sheet metal type fastner.
I like the idea of putting a little epoxy and a small peice of plastic to make the screw tight again. I do the same in wood working.

I have mechanical Aptitude.
I can screw up anything.
