Does anyone by chance have pictures of the back of the door panels, or have their interior door panels off at the moment?

I took my door panels apart and removed the plastics to do some work on them. All the screws looked the same when I removed them, but now I have noticed that there are some screws that are longer and with a bigger washer. Also a few different ones with a black collar on them.

I normally take pics but I forgot this time around...

I think it should be apparent when you start putting things back together. I think the longer ones may be for the junction between the map pocket and the front part of the plastics.

The factory manual should come in handy with your request.

I went thru the same problem the OP had when I first took apart my FD's door panels. Luckily, all of the screws have the same diameter, and they all had the same type of thread pitch, and the majority of them were of the shorter length type. So what I did was *SLOWLY & GENTLY* screw in the longer ones in the holes that looked deep enough to me to accept the longer screws, and if it felt like it was about to bottom out prematurely while I was screwing them in, unscrew it and replace with one of the shorter screws. After doing it that way, I found I was wrong on only 1 of the long screws where I should have used the shorter ones.
