Pass Side Panel?
I know it only goes in one way but Im having issues getting it to sit just right. Anyone happen to have a few pics? Correction: I meant the panel under the dash that covers the ecm opening.

You have to have the door lock slider tab removed before you put the door back and make sure it is extended out all the way, so you can work it in sideways through the hole. Also, make sure there's no wiring hanging or binding up. Secondly, you have to start from the top, hooking it over the top of the door, then working the door handle through the hole in the center.
The large rubber blocks on the top of the door weatherstripping can also be cut down to a minimal size to hold the stripping onto the door. These blocks are one of the main culprits in getting the top of the door down low enough to seat the xmas tree buttons on the bottom of the panel (earlier C4's used screws at the bottom).
The earlier C4 had a screw through the door panel on the back edge of it as well. You'll see a tab that sticks out and you can drill it out and put a drywall screw insert to hold the screw in. Wasn't hard to drill or start at all.
Here's my thread. Finally, if you're door panel is intact, this works. If you have structural cracks in your plastic on the panel, that's a whole 'nuther fix!
