Re: Need Some Help ASAP
Looks to me like you just need to play around with the panel some more. I have not messed the panels on F-bodies, but on my other cars it sometimes took some time to get those panels back on properly.2002 Silver Firebird A4<br />T-Tops, Leather, Y87, W68, Chrome Wheels<br />Bone Stock

x3... even knowing what to do, it probably won't happen for you on the first try, just keep playing with it until you get it... patience is key
push it toward the door, and then while keeping pressure toward the door push down...Rebuilding the engine... Building a custom front end... T-top conversion... Custom rear hatch..

Re: Need Some Help ASAP
Yeah, they were a PITA to get them to "hook" correctly. I think I used to remove the corner triangle piece (opposite the rear view mirror) in order to get a little more room for the door panel to hook-over.sigpic

Re: Need Some Help ASAP
A little tip, have someone help you when you're doing it... line everything up the best you can, and have someone hold it toward the door near the bottom where the "hooks" are and then you hold it near the top and just ease it downward... I've done this to these doors like 6-7 times and it never really gets easier, I don't think I've ever gotten it on the first try...
Just figure out everywhere on the door panel that hooks into the door, and try and keep constant pressure on all those places while you move the panel down...
and most importantly... good luck, bc that's what really gets the door panel on right is luckRebuilding the engine... Building a custom front end... T-top conversion... Custom rear hatch..

Re: Need Some Help ASAP
I suggest you go to home depot and get some silicon spray, spray the area that needs to be connected so you can reduce the resistance. I replaced my passenger mirror
two weeks ago but only pulled the inside door panel just enough to remove the bolts
that held on the old mirror. I know what you are going through and its a *****. If all else favors, go to a body shop at the chevy dealer and say " I wonder if you could do me a FAVOR? Could you get this door panel back for me?"

Re: Need Some Help ASAP
Its definitely a pain in the *** to put those panels on. The key is really getting each hook and the top flap to get into their attachment points at exactly the same time. I find that the part up near the front by the mirror sometimes is not in while everything else is. In this case just give it a little punch and it should snap in.
Like everyone else said, you'll rarely get it the first time, I dont think I have after doing it on 3 different f-bodies for window motors, speakers, window adjustments etc.
