Mark the hole in the door with a marker or two pieces of masking tape on either side of the hole then use a awl to punch through the panel and into the hole in the door. Of course the door panel has to be installed.Red ,but thread's all the way to head .The washer's are attached to screw to keep material from twisting as you tighten against door panel.You can buy reproduction screw's for the lower panel.The next challenge is to punch hole's in door panel to line up exactly to the hole in inner door panel. Careful measuring vertically and horizontal. I missed one that is not letting screw lay flat ,i will drill a new hole using location of hole in door panel ,only off a 1/8 inch.
Yes extend the tape down on both side's of hole straight down to below where door panel stop's{lower curve of door} and i used a sliding carpenter's square and lay against bottom of door and slide end of ruler to hole .Then when panel is on lay square on as before to door and that will be the height location of screw hole.Mark the hole in the door with a marker or two pieces of masking tape on either side of the hole then use a awl to punch through the panel and into the hole in the door. Of course the door panel has to be installed.
That is pretty slick Leo ,that would definitely work !!! Guess I will make one,but you know I will probably never need to use it ,maybe I will get another project so I can use it!!!Bob, all you need is a "hole finder" tool to locate the hole under the panel. It is a widely used tool in aviation sheet metal repairs. We used to made our own in a few minutes using 2 hack saw blades bolted together on one end and a tiny pointed screw on the otheren end. Its SO EASY!! Everyone needs a tool like this. I used the tool to do my door panels. This video shows what they look like.
