Since I've had problems with fender screws on my Cougar, did you put screws back into the plastic mollies or used the mollies instead of screws. I have a similar problem with where I screwed into the tin underneath to hold a sewer pipe tube. Even bigger screws pull out so the mollies may do the trick.
When you put the molly's in, pump some original Liquid Nails around them first. While the Liquid Nails is still wet, put the screw in. Between the molly holding the screw and the Liquid Nails holding the Molly, it will not move or pull out again, ever.
Years and years ago, I pumped a bunch of Liquid Nails around a front turn signal assembly on my Chevy S-10 pick-up truck when it fell out and the plastic tips broke off. I was in the Army at the time and money was tight, and I was inconvenienced to get a new assembly. I inserted the assembly back in the hole, use a bit of duct tape to hold it in place from the front, and then pumped Liquid Nails around the back side (in the bumper) where it inserted and let it dry. Next day I pulled the tape. I had that truck for another 8 years and never had to to do anything with that assembly again. The truck died, and assembly was about the only thing still attached. It has rusted out that bad.
