Thanks for reminding me. I gave my 22 yr old car to my sister and after awhile the door started rattling. I found that the post that sticks out for the door’s latch to latch onto used to have a nylon sleeve, but age had caused it to fall apart. So I wrapped some 14 gauge copper house wire a few times around the post and the door stopped rattling.
So I’m thinking that a few turns of thin solid bare copper wire would work. The wire will not have the support that a copper sleeve would have. But after the washer, wire and screw have been checked for fit, the screw threads can be anchored with some cyanoacrylate Crazy Glue where the threads come through the motor board. The screw will not come loose, and if it needs to be removed, heat from a soldering iron will loosen it. 👍
