Interior door panel "hooks"

Post by 71Satellite98661 » Sun Aug 24, 2014 1:04 pm

Are these galvanized "hooks" installed correctly for the rear door panels? They seem to be holding the panels quite high. I notice the locating tabs that seem to line right up with holes in the structrure. The fronts ended up a tad high an a tiny adjustment by bending them towards the glass about an 1/8" did the trick but these seem way off. Then again, these may possibly be 73/74 rears covered in 71 uphostery.

Looks like they need to be switched around so the small hook portion of the brackets faces the outside of the door. Here is a picture of a door that has not been disassembled.
