[QUOTE="BlueCruiser, post: 211221, member: 5790"] Yup! It wasn't easy aligning the metal plates up to the door panel. We used pop rivets (stainless Mandrel) and made sure they did not interfere with the fit. Put the metal on the door then attached the door panel and marked where the edge of the panel hit the metal both ways, took it apart popped then tried again. Took a few try"s. The fit was okay after glueing on the vinyl door skin. Watch out for stripped out screw holes for the door panel mounting screws. We made repair plates for key points but next time will use riv certs to fill worn out holes. I might have mentioned before to use stainless steel screws and washers to save a headache later. Sounds like you are getting close to completion. Bob & Gina [/QUOTE]
