    HELP-Pony door panel install

    Could not get lower panel clips to lock in...ok got one only.

    One in upper section bent, fixed that.
    I have red clips from NPD for pony interior.
    TMi door panel has a bow towards the vinyl side.
    I had clips started in holes before attempting to secure.

    Need help ASAP..supposed to leave today.

    Put some lube on the clips and make sure they are properly oriented so they go straight into the holes on the door.
    Only use BRAND NEW clips designed for pony panels.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    You could try the fix Mochaman uses for his door panels.  He took one of his doors apart at the Bash here and his panels were held on with magnets.  Really slick.

    Velcro might work...........I drilled holes and used SS screws with a decorative ring. How they came in 65 I think?!

    Thanks for tips.  Was able to get passenger side on with little problem.

    Driver...well.  Will try again at cousin’s home.. or Rockwall.
    Minor repairs on backboard might have to occur first.

    Not gonna stop us from leaving Michigan...at least not me.😂
