? on installing door panels on 71

I am getting ready to install new door panels on my 71. Is there suppose to be a screw through the door panel on the upper front corner of the panel? My current door panels do not have a screw.

There is a screw in the original door panels in the upper front corner, but may not be on all aftermarket panels.

Hi,
I agree with Frog; also note the extra collet to stop the screw head from pulling through the door panel.
Regards,
Alan

There is a screw at the top-front of that panel and at the top-rear of it. There are 'L' brackets and screws at bottom (front and back), where the screws go into the metal door edge, also (rather than on the face of the panel).
