Re: Captive nuts

Had a similar issue with the ones installed on my aftermarket replacement lower door pillars, but actually had the "cages" welds not hold - after welded in, of course. I replaced with regular washers and nuts and could reach all with wrenches, except the bottom one. I drilled a 1" hole in the front so I could get a socket in to tighten the nut, then installed a rubber cap to fill the hole.

Cheers, Jim
