CM Door Panel Pops Out of Track
I have an '89 vet, recently replaced driver side door seal that runs across the top of the door where the window comes through. After replacing and reassembling I noticed that the top of the panel pops out as soon as I close the door leaving a large gap exposing the inner door. After fighting with it for about an hour I noticed that the door panel has a fork like clip at the back of the door but not in the middle where it pops out. This is the first time that I have attempted this replacement, should there be another clip mid way down on this panel and if so where can I buy one. Thanks

HI there,
Good question, as there are no open pics of the panel itself.
As I recall, there are more than one.
Allthebest, c4c5
