Default Door Panel ---

repairing my door panels on my 92....both were coming off and apart..
so they are pretty much ready to go back on but I see the left door has metal clips at the top and the right does not
Is this normal or am I missing clips on the right side...

Wow, I've gotta check mine out now because the drivers side door panel "wobbles" at the top as though it doesn't have anything to hold it securely, but the passenger's side doesn't. But Q: Is your car really purple from the factory? I've never seen such a beast.

I would like to know more about those clips as well, i think they would fix some issues i have been having with my own door panel.

On my 94 I put about a two inch screw in on a slight angle to hook the door frame the head is completely hidden by the window sweep.

That is very interesting. I am right now in the process of replacing the window regulator in my 95 on the left (driver's side) side and have the door completely taken apart and my car does not have those clips.

But you should know that there were many minor "running changes" that were put in place during the manufacturing process that may have changed from year to year.
