My body manaul shows a screw being used at the aft end to secure this panel. My old panels show no sign of a screw ever being there, and other people I have talked to do't have it either. So how is this panel held into place?? Does it have the "supports" like the front door panel or???? Diagram attached. I am referring to the screw shown at the very aft of the interior quarter trim panel (has the fuzzy on it). Again, pardon my stupidity, I never saw this come apart, and the body manual has proved to be no hlep in this area....I only wish someone aorund ehre ahd a ratop I could look at. MAN!!!!!! Thanks Tim
Tim, I think thats a bad picture. That screw holds the fuzzie and the trim, No way I can see the panel can screw to it. The panel is held at the top like the front doors, no supports just hangs off the body and has 1 or 2 (CRS) clips.
Hi Karl, I don't get it. I know there is the one clip near the front, lower down. I also know there is a screw at the front that oges through the "U" shaped seal at the doorjamb and through this panel into the body. There must be something at the back, no?? What would keep it from moving back there when the window goes up and down against he fuzzies...and there are no clips at the top like the main doors?? ou: Later Tim
Tim, You are correct, there are only two mounting points. The screw goes through the U-jamb seal and there is the panel "L" clip. Once the panel is in position and meets the window, the panel can not move up or down or back and forth. The metal tabs coming off of the panel that closes the opening to the window regulator will prevent the panel from sliding front to back.
Well that seems pretty hokey, doesn't it?? The tabs off the access panel secure the inner panel nicelybut not the one with the fuzzies....which is the one I am concerned about. I might have to come up with something to help that area out, I can't see it being very secure... Later Tim
Once you have the panel in position, there is no way for it to move. The glass can not "grab" the fuzzies and pull the panel upward. You don't need to engineer another mounting point because it is not necessary!
Ok, we'll see how it goes. One thing too is that the back end sits on the seal mounted back there correct?? That would raise it about 1/4" and align things better, so that makes sense. later Tim
