91/92 bird owners...have you taken your door panels off?

I dissassembled the door panels on the inside of my 91 GTA.

I just reassembled them, but I have an "extra" torx bolt, and I can't figure out where it goes.

I put 3 torx bolts in each arm rest, and 3 torx bolts in each cup holder. Where is this extra one supposed to go? The shift plate is also out of the car at the moment, but I don't think there were any torx bolts in the shift plate.

Thanks!
Bill

I have two smaller hex head screws holding the plastic door handle bezel on. Did I miss one?

It's the same size as the bolts that go into the map pocket and arm rest. It's the shorter one (not the LONG one that goes into the top arm rest bolt). I didn't realize there were torx bolts holding up the knee pad. Let me go check.
