Hey Brian, have to be really careful handling and installing the pieces to not to put any stress on or flex the panels when installing.... ...I've already had a couple spider cracks pop up on the door panels from having to remove/install them a couple different times for various reasons that were my fault. I had the door panels repaired when the other parts were being painted last weekend...Hopefully this time, once they're in place, I won't be removing/installing them again ... ...
