Hey Chris,
Let's see those pics! I've been struggling with the door panels too. This past summer I replaced the door panels (purchased from a preferred vendor). They looked okay for a while, but the top corners kind of puckered when I tightened them. I just noticed the the driver's side panel is creeping out of the SS frame.
Are you guys over-sizing these custom made panels?
I appreciate all the dialog this thread has created. There are some great ideas out there on door panels.
Thanks,
