Thanks man, I have access so I think I'm going to put some nyloc SS nuts on the inside, then put some epoxy over them to lock them onto the door skin and not have to deal with getting back to hold them later. Clean the surface up and grease the bolt should allow for the bolt to come out of the epoxy but the nut to stayed glued to the inside of the door. Thanks for the insight and suggestions guys, it will save me trouble down the road.

It's been awhile, but I think I got them from the hardware store for tractor stuff, honestly can't remember though. They fit perfectly, so maybe I got them from a VW supplier? Look at the various venders, I bet someones got them.

Hi

Beetle dipsticks work as well, 40 hp ones are the best as they have a smaller handle, of course you need to shorten one leg.

I've used the hardware store type and they scratch paint on the outer edge of the hinge.

Hi Jason!

I remembered your problem with the mirrors and would like to show you a solution to keep them still.

Standard...

This is the way to keep tight without dismantling the door to maintenance...
