pics would help drastically.....but theres probably pieces preventing it to go flat on the door...and those pieces are probably makin scuffs on the back piece of wood so just use a dremel to grind out those spots to let it fit snug to the panel.

ill upload the pics later today, but i cant use a dremal as the peice of ply is only 3/8 thick and it is not thick enough to do that method //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Take some pics with and without your panel in place. I have a few ideas, but pics would better help send you down the easiest most durable path //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I kinda have the same issue.

My cure was to put the wood to the door and drill a hole through both. Puta nut and bolt on wood side (countersunk) and put the bolt through the hole in the door. Using the speaker hole as access put a nut on the bolt inside the door and tighten.

GAP BETWEEN PANEL

So is the only gap at the top of the panel? Your going to need some kind of weather stripping for a seal against the window. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Its hard too see but could you just cut and staple the original part of the panel to the wood that butts the window? Or is that wood out too far?

Again old monitor hard to see...lol

That's the way it looks to me. Like the gap he is talking about is from the missing weatherstip from the oem panel. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

no that gap is with the bottom flush against the panel. like i said earlier it rocks back and forth and it doesnt sit flat :/ and yea i was thinking about doing the old panel trim part but how would i cover that in the end of the project? i wanted to do vynil but not if i have to go over a busted trim panel from a busted door panel.

thanks for all the help so far guys

Does your panel sit flush everywhere else but that gap at the top? That's the way most oem door panels are designed, so that the top weatherstrip helps "hang" the door card( panel) on the metal door itself. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
