Default Putting door panels back on

Installed new speakers tonight, got the door panels off no problem. When I try to put them back on though I can't get them lined up with the pop-up lock at all. Did anyone else have this problem, or have a solution to get it lined up again. Thanks

Got the lock lined up finally, but noticed the anchor for the bolt fell from its spot. Didn't expect something that's so easy to come off to be so hard to put back on.

I just did mine the other day too. The lock bars are definitely a bit of a PITA to align.

It gets easier after the few couple times, I can have them back on in about 3 minutes now without any help. I also lost the clip that goes behind the door handle to screw the bolt back in. It's not needed though, I don't get any door rattles without it.

Stick a soda straw over the top of the door lock. Makes it easier to align.

Take the piece that the lock goes through out of the door. Gives you a much bigger hole to stick it through. Then snap the piece that you removed back in. Super easy.

I do it that way too.
