Since I purchased it, my CSi had this part of the door panel hanging a bit. I've never had the need to dig into the door panel so I just let it slide. I will be changing my door handles soon so it's a good time to get this repaired. I went to the diagrams and I can't tell if the #3 "Body Nut" is what holds the panel in place. Any help identifying the piece that I need, or confirming that I need #3, will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks gents!

Yep, #3, but if the pin is broken, you can't reattach.

FYI, this piece is NLA. Looks like its a simple quick-nut so I'll try to source it at the hardware store when I take it out.

I have also used rectangular speed nuts that you can find at lowes or home depot or Ace Hardware. They work just as well.
