Has anyone reading this ever come up with a sure-fire "fix" to the annoying problem of door pad armrests being pulled out of their anchored / secured position...?

The other day I had to remove my driver's side door pad to remedy a door lock issue, & sure enough, with everything re-installed at the end of it all, the first tug on the armrest handle to close the door resulted in the first two screws popping out!

It appears that the holes in the door frame that "anchor"(!) these screws have become enlarged over the past 29 years of misc. on / off servicing...

Is the best fix simply to use larger diameter screws...?

I was thinking maybe a good repair might be if I could somehow seat a "J"-clip anchor nut in the frame --- something like you see being used to secure the front shock absorbers to the lower control arms, only on a smaller scale...

Just a thought --- I am certainly open to helpful (as in "working"!) suggestions, with thanks in advance...
