A-body armrest - stripped threads in door’s sheet metal

I guess I’m being slow. If I understand you correctly - I’m to cut a slot above (and not touching) the oversized hole. If I insert a large screwdriver in the new slot - am I to push straight down on the screwdriver to elongate the slot & force material down into the existing hole?

Just curious.

Do you have a pic of the complete door you can post showing all the holes in it?

What model is this door from?
