Woody,
I installed mine about 2 weeks ago. I had the exact same issues and pretty much did the exact same fixes. I agree about the flimsy panel connectors. I put the first one in and it popped right out. They went in the bone pile after that.
It took me about 3 to 4 hours to finally get it all right.

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.
