HELP!!! Stupid Me Lost Door Handle Screw in Door
Stupid me I was getting the top chrome pieces of my door handle vinyl wrapped and i stupidly dropped the screw on the rear drivers side door. I am so dumb. Anyway anyone know if I have a shot to find it if I take the door panel off or can I get a new screw at the dealer? They all turned out great, wish I wasn't so confident at the time and careless.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

i would guess that it's less work to just go to the dealer and get a new screw. or maybe get one from a hardware store. but if you opened up the door panel, i'm sure you'd be able to find it.

I took the door panel off, no go on even finding an opening to look for the screw. Unfortunately this doesn't seem like a normal screw. I will try the dealer parts department this week, other wise I don't know what else to do.

You can't pull in the inner door panel its riveted in, how did you end up loosing the screw they are held in place inside the door I took my door handles off 5 times never any problem.
You can try this its a long shot, get some 1/4" aquarium hose and connect it to a vacuum cleaner feed it in the door and see if you can suck the screw up or maybe try removing the boot where the cables enter the door and use a grabber or magnet tool to get it out.
