Default How do I get the door panel back on?

What is the trick? Do I put the plastic hooks on at the bottom first,,,, or do I hang it from the top first?

I think I always hang it from the top first... can remember but ive had to fight a little with some in the past... Just make sure all your door clips are lined up so you dont break them... otherwise im sure you can buy a bag of them from the parts store or dealer...

And I should have added that I have an '99 Camaro SS.

I have tried top first, but I cant get the bottom hooks in.

OK, its done. What worked for me was to put the bottom row of male hooks in first, then the top.

Put the bottom hooks in first. Then put in the very bottom middle door screw, completely tighten this one screw. Now do the sides. Flex the top of the door panel, and hook in.
If you do the top first, you ar liable to have a large seperation between the speaker and the door panel.
