Door panel question
« on: February 02, 2008 - 11:03:32 AM »
I noticed that my drivers door panel bows out at the center and is about 1/4 from the felt touching the glass. The panel itself is in perfect original condition other than this. Any suggestions??!!

If it's what I think you are describing, you may be missing this clip.

I've had the panels off recently and don't remember those clips. I thought that the channel of the panel slid behind the structure of the door? The clip would make since though.

 :roflsmiley:  :smilielol:   I gave up on that thread a loooong time ago!  It was torture!  :bricks1:

I took off my panels MANY months ago, maybe years and I thought the same also, that the channel slips behind the sturcture of the door.

Are all the bolts in the armrest/grab handle?  :clueless:

Your going to have to ask the other guys, I'm not sure unless I can find my panels to have a looksy at them.
