Applbiz RSA door panel install question
Got them on just fine. But, can't seem to get the covers on the door handles to lock into place (they go over the plates/screws). Am I missing something? I've banged on them pretty good but no luck.

I had to space the handles out so the clips had more room on the covers to grab. I used several small washers stacked up.
I wouldn't do too much banging. They should click on pretty easy, just by hand. Doug

Ditto, I used a couple of nylon nuts that act as spacers. They should include this in the kit. Handle needs to be spaced out about 5mm for the cover to snap on properly.

+1 on what Doug and Pete said. I have heard a rumor that the hot ticket is a dab of silicone behind the cover to keep it stuck down.

Ditto +2. Some small washers work just fine to space the handles out far enough for the trim pieces to clip on. Just make sure not to make the same mistake I did. I ended up cutting out both window switch holes on both panels as I just wasn't thinking when I was doing it. Having one exposed hole is just so annoying!

Oh man, that's a bummer.
