I'd seen people use velcro on the doors for a clean look; no screws. Not sure about the rear panels...

I've seen small black screws. Wouldn't the velcro sag/pull off when its really hot?

Hi
To make it really smooth, can you get hold of nut insert gun or rivenut tool? I use one like this http://www.wurth.com.au/cataloguevie...f=A09_0120.pdf Steve

Chris,
The tool Steve is talking about actually rivets a nut to your door, so that you can thread a screw or bolt into it. I've used them before, pretty slick Alex

Ah yes! Now I remember.... Steve C is referring to a tool that we used at my old work. Technically I wouldnt call it a nut that is riveted into the door, but rather something like an insert. Technicalities aside, those things work REALLY well! Just make sure that you got a SHARP drill bit THE SAME SIZE than the dia. of the insert, otherwise it wouldnt snugly fit once riveted, and give you endless frustration trying to bolt things down(the insert/nut will just spin in it's hole).
I wouldnt mind having one of those tools in my toolbox collection!

use the stock/factory clips, put them in the stock holes in the door, place some epoxy on the back of the clips, then align the panel into place.
once dried, the panel can be removed and replaced at ease just like the stock vw door panels. doing it this way eliminates screw holes, giving a clean appearance. this is how i did it, works perfectly. i hope this is useful. |
