Loose rear 5th inside door panel solution 850

I had already bought the kit to repair the rattling door panel on my 94 855T. It did not work. It seems that the force needed to get a tight close (after adjusting the latch) is too much. When the door gets closed the panel comes loose. I went to Home Depot and bought some beige plastic washer/screw covers. They match the beige interior nicely. I put 4 screws with the washer/covers across the back of that panel and it's like driving a new car. I don't care that it is not factory. The factory solution did not work and neither did the kit. Pull the cover off so that you can see where you are drilling and attach the screws. I dropped down about 4-5 inches from the top of the cover in order to hit the sheet metal frame. If you don't mind the little plastic covers, go for it. It will do the trick.
