Not knowing which car you are referring to, I can only say that the TR4 has captive threaded plates. It's doubtful if you have loose nuts, because how would you hold them to tighten?

If you are talking about the striker plate on the 'B' pillar, then yes, you will lose all of the nuts if you take the screws out. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/jester.gif
Seriously, there is a floating captive plate back there that is threaded for all four screws. Therefore, all four move together. You can take the striker plate off without running into any problems.
