I did 3 of my 4 doors with the moleskin but my passenger front door, the screw near the door latch that has the rubber circle pad around it just keeps turning and wont come out...

Whats the best way to get it off without doing any damage?(im not good with out of the box tool shit..lol)

and after i get it out, how to fix it so it will work properly?

thanks

That bolt/screw gets screwed up all the time. You should go to the stealer and just buy a new one. It's only a couple of bucks.

Try to take the rubber stopper out, and get a set of vice grips around the head of the bolt and unscrew it. If that doesn't work, try and get a real small drill bit, and drill through the middle of the stripped bolt. Once it bites, unscrew the bit via some pliers.

Hope it helps.

This happened to my drivers side door while doing the same (moleskin) install. What I did was take some very skinny needle nose pliers, slide it into the back of the plastic door panel and grab the screw housing to keep it from spinning. Then unscrew it. Just be careful not to scratch the door panel. It's a pain, I know.

thanks!

Just hold the ring around the screw steady with your finger while gently turning the screw with a skinny driver. If it's just a plastic screw inside a plastic housing, that works fine. Had similar issues on my CRX. Try pushing against the ring to kinda jam it against the door panel to hold it steady...

well it didnt work

i can get enough room behing the plastic part to put thin needle pliers to hold it...and holding the rubber part and trying to unscrew it didnt work either...

im prob going to take it to the dealer and blame them for something so they fix it under warranty...
