After a little time to reflect on what could be causing the problem for the new door panels not attaching properly, I found that the new panels have 13 spots on the back of them that can be cut out. The only problem is none of the thirteen spots given line up with the holes in the door shell.
The back of the OEM door panel has seven holes cut out for the retainers, of which only six are actually used. By lining up the old door panel with the new panel I can mark off where the cut outs need to be made, and then cut them out with an Xacto knife. Holes cut out, clips installed and the panel installs right in place, but using only six clips. Hopefully the rest of the door and quarter trim panels will go on a little quicker! Ben.
