Default Putting the door panel back on :-(

I have pulled the panel of our RX and fixed the door issue we were having. Now I'm trying to put the panel back on, but I'm having problems getting the panel back on. The top part won't slide back in to where the window sites. Does anyone know of a video tutorial or have any advice on getting the panel back on? It's funny, all the videos online show how to pull of the panel, but they all just sort of stop there :-)

The panel can be a pain to get back on.
Roll down the window. That will help so you can push the top of the panel through the frame.
Tilt the panel out at the bottom while looking underneath to make sure those two metal hooks engage on the lower window frame. That is the sticking point.
Once those engage, line of the pegs, push in, and reassemble.
Took me a couple of tries when I repaired my doorlock.
Hope this helps.

Thanks a bunch for the info! That's good to know that it's a pain and I'm not doing something wrong. I'll make sure the window is all the way down. Wish I could put the little second window down, as well. Thanks again! !
