Default Improved Door pin system

For those having problems with the screws stripping out that hold the door pin clip on:

While at the factory having a TM tuneup they removed the square plastic alignment blocks screwed above the clip and pin location, and replaced them with a round plastic part that extends down to help hold the door pin clip in place.

Also I learned that the two screws that hold the door clips on, screw into wood, not aluminum, on all models of TM. We previous discussed, on this board, trying to install riv-nuts to hold the screws, wrongly assuming that there was an aluminum frame around the door. If your screws are stripped out, fill the holes up with wood and glue and use wood screws. My TM came with machine threaded screws, which made me think they were installed in a metal frame. The frame around the door is made of popular wood.
