Does anyone have a picture of their '69 door panel with armrest? The pre-punched holes in my new door panels are no way in the right spot for arm rest placement. I have an idea of where it should be but would like some conformation that I'm correct before I drill. I believe the rear screw will be between the two chrome strips. Just not real sure how much of the door handle is exposed.

Hmmm, wonder if its in my assembly manual? Guess I'll go look.

:cool: The pre-punched holes do not line up. I suggest that prior to installing the panels you measure the distance from a point on the BOTTOM inside edge of the door frame up to the hole(s) -- use tape to mark your measurement point. Then measure from a point on the REAR inside edge of the door frame forward to the hole(s) -- use tape to mark your measurment point. Then after you install the door panel you can duplicate your measurements onto the panel(s). Mark the location of the future holes, then remove the panel, then carefully cut the hole(s) and then re-install the panel -- the new hole(s) in the door panel should be lined up over the screw holes.

As Lorena Bobbitt once said: "Measure twice, cut once."
