I have my door cards fitted to the defender but only the handles & window winder hold the door cards on.

I know you can get the screw items that slot in the bottom etc. But has anyone come up with a better aftermarket idea to holding them in place?

thanks in advance

Do you have a picture to show me what you mean or have you just drilled the door trim?

Thanks

same problem with mine. Stick the retainer part that is in the door, take the card and drill from the back through where the push clips sit, then use screw to hold it on.

So what do u use for it to screw into?
Sorry
I didn't understand full what todo! So the plastic
Door card drill through we're normal clips are at the bottom dril from back put? Then screw straight into the bottom runner of the door or put a bolt/clip in it for it to fix?

**** me Dan pay attention. In the door frame there are plastic bits( white bits in attach ) that the clips on the door card (black bits in other attach ) slid into, secure these bits so they don't move. drill through the back of the door card where the black clips sit. Now you know you have drilled in the correct place. then just screw through the holes into

Sorry to sound like a total novice and now I know what you mean but please bare in mind that I actually don't have them said clips at all in my landy!!! Now I know that I just use the secure part like a raw plug and screw through makes sense now I know.

I put a rivnut in the door frame at each corner where the existing plastic sockets are and drilled through the door card. I used some nice stainless mushroom head allen screws to hold 'em on. I think it looks good and it makes getting the cards on and off a piece of cake.
