My son tried to shut the door(while it was clipped)on our tt and ripped the door holder clip off the door. Obviously the screws are stripped any idea how to replace?

If the larger screws aren't the answer, you might have to put a wooden peg in the hole. I hesitate to say it, but it was me and the bigger screws didn't work, I would look at "carefully" drilling the holes out a little bigger and gluing a dole in.

You might want to try filling the stripped holes with 2 part epoxy (tape around the holes to protect door finish) let it set up (five to ten minutes) then pilot new holes through the epoxy and remount holder.

Two part epoxy or stop by a boat supply and grab a product called marine tex. A lot like epoxy but 1 part. What ever you do, be sure that its sealed. Water penetration can cause a lot of damage over time. The wood in the hole trick works. Just not optimum.

Thanks to all! Cut up some shims into small pieces and got fatter screws. Stuffed shim pieces into hollow door and it worked fine.
