Default Threaded insert?

The threaded brass insert in the fuse panel box holder, where the side cover mounts pulled out of the holder and wouldn't back off from the screw. Any ideas on a replacement for just the threaded insert? I got rid of the majority of that big plastic piece but still need the side cover to sung up.

Drill it out and use a heli-coil ?

so did you get the screw/bolt out of the insert, and is the insert still good..but just pulled out of the plastic??? if so you can heat it with a heat gun or torch until almost smoking hot and press it back into the plastic and cool it in water, if its to loose for that just epoxy it back into the plastic piece....the screw is available from the dealer...
