05 altima SER- Right Rear Door Panel Loose

hi, i have a 2005 ser and my right rear door panel is loose. but the story is my friend dented that door with his palm (idiot!), and i tried taking the door panel off to try to undent it, not knowing its impossible to do that due to a plastic glass piece that blocks you from touching the metal on the door. so now the door panel is loose because the plastic pieces that pops into the frame broke/fell out..

anyone have a diagram showing the door panel assembly so icould possible just drill screws on the panel to fasten back?

and i think that speaker got blown today haha.

you can't just buy some extra plastic clips for the door panel? i know those clips aren't too expensive, but i guess using screws isn't that bad...

I would say that using screws is bad. That would look absolutely horrible. Just go buy new clips. Love your car a little. Sometimes you can even get them at a autoparts store. Where I am Napa has a pretty good selection of different panel clips. Screwing a door panel on would hurt your re-sale value for sure.
