If during a repair procedure, a weld stud becomes damaged, the following procedure may be used to replace the weld stud:

1. Drill a hole into the same location as the damaged weld stud.
2. Drive a screw into the drilled hole.
3. Use screws to retain clips and moldings in the same manner used with weld studs.
4. If the body surface becomes marred, repair and/or refinish to provide a smooth surface.
