Thanks! That is the way I am doing it now but I cant get the upper edge over the metal door tabs at the top of the door. Is there a trick to doing this???

Hi,
At least on 70-72 cars you can put the door panel on first, get it in position, and then use a small screw driver to pry the lever of the mechanism out far enough to slide the lever on.

I have the top of the door panel over the metal tabs. I didn't like the way you could see down into the door mechanisms past the window with the door panel not over the tabs. It does take a bit of work to get it done.

Alan, I KNOW you have a great picture of this! You've got better photos of every part of a C3 Corvette than GM has.
