Re: Door Mounting Plate is lost inside pillar!!

Another idea. I'm pretty sure that if you make a hole in the kick panel you can access the void where your plate is hiding. Then your magnet will be more maneuverable. Drilling a 15/16" (or is it 1") hole means you can use a factory hole plug to fill the hole when you are done. I did this when rust inhibiting my Burban. Here is a link to the plugs I am referring to. You may have to make 2 or 3 holes depending on how far the plate fell. The up side would be all the hole would be on the inside and no welding would be needed. Plus you could spray some rust inhibitor in once your plate is back where it belongs.
