Default HELP! ASAP DOOR PANELS SUCKS!

HELP, PLEASE
I AM PUTTING MY DOOR PANELS BACK ON. THEY HAVE BEEN OFF FOR OVER A YEAR
AND NOW I CAN'T REMEMBER HOW THEY GO BACK ON :mad :bb :mad
THEY LOOK LIKE AT THE TOP EDGE THAT THEY SHOULD HANG ON A LITTLE LIP THAT RUNS ALONG THE TOP
OF THE DOOR BUT I CAN'T GET ON THAT LIP. I PUT IT ON ANYWAY AND NOW IT IS GAPPING CLOSE TO THE GLASS
DOES THE PANEL HANG ON THIS LIP?
ARE THERE ANY TRICKS TO GET IT ON?
LONG LIVE THE C3 FORM

I have an 82, i am sketchy about the 76 door panels, but mine just hang on the lip @ the window gap, they are really easy to install. Just hang em on and install the armrest, escuteon, door lock lever, and screw it in
if you have any questions you can e'mail me or im me

Just replaced the interior on my 77 (PITA!) Yes the door panels hang from the top, use patience and they will go on, I fabricated lower brackets to better retain the panels at the lower corners. Door pulls were a bit of a challenge...
