I need to cover 3 large windows in a sliding door every winter. I want to be able to use the same mounting holes every year. The outside of the door seems to be aluminium with wood between. Is there a product similar to a tee nut that can be used?

Hello, and welcome to Home Improvement. Unfortunately, "shopping" questions are off-topic here. However, if you edit to be more of a "how could I do this" question you'll likely have more success.

There are two fasteners that ought to work for you. One is an expanding screw anchor
These are quick and easy to install, but if the door has a solid wood core, it will not permit the anchor to expand.
The other product that may work for you is a rivet nut
even if the door has a solid core, it will probably allow the rivet nut to expand.

Threaded inserts are often used where repeated removal is needed.
They come in a variety of types, sizes and materials. The door core is likely softwood, and stainless or brass fittings are probably needed for exterior use. Some inserts come in a kit with drill bit and insertion tool.
