Default Fixed loose interior door panel

I have been living with the loose and squeaking passenger door panel for about a year now and decided to figure out a fix.

I had previously pulled the panel and put the "L" backets on top of the door, which helped but did not fix.

So I pulled the panel again and found an "ear" on the latch side of the door that is behind the panel when the panel is on. This "ear had a hole in it, so I slipped a plastic screw retaining nut in the hole, drilled a hole through the panel to the plastic nut, and screwed it down.

The panel is staying put and no more squeaking!!

Wasn't Brownstone discontinued? Perhaps something to do with the delay?
