Old hands probably know this already but here is a tip for the less experienced.
Most manufacturers use self tapping screws to fix the body to the chassis, repeated undoing and replacing them can eventually destroy the thread in the plastic because they try to cut a new one each time. Use the following method to avoid damage when reassembling your cars:
Insert screw and turn slowly anticlockwise until you hear and/or feel a click. It is now lined up with the start point of the original thread and can be tightened safely.
It is also a good idea to replace the stock screws with ones like these LINK or longer ones like these LINK. They have a thread-less shoulder at the top which helps achieve good body rock.
