i just live with mine now since when the door is closed they are secure. i did notice very small metal tabs on the PUI panels but no indication of how to bend them to make them function anything like the GM panels. do you recall what if anything you did to make teh top rail fit secure like originals?
I just remember that after getting the metal clips on the upper door panel oriented up to the 12:00 position, it positioned the door panel lower and more firmly along the top of the inside of the door. I am installing these on Saturday (if my hardware arrives) so I will definitely post up a review of this particular run of PUI upper door panels.
