After a year of being apart I am wondering if I have this panel clip in the right place. I am trying to get the new door panels installed and they are being a little difficult to fit. If this clip is not right that could be part of my problem.

sorry for the smallish pic, but you can see both doors in this one without the panels

i think you may have the part inside out and on the wrong side of the window channel

these should be the window ferrul holders / window tension adjusters that unsrew and slide for tension, screw down to tighten

hope that helps
