Just an idea;

Had you considered using something akin to butyl tape to hold the top of the panel in place?

Maybe even some heavy duty two sided tape?

Unless I am misinterpreting that image, it looks like the shape of the (inner) sail panel is wrong...

The shape is definitely not correct. I'll try shaping them with a heat gun, and possibly stuff some butyl tape behind them.

Here's another pic of the lovely fitment you get for your money

Do you remember which supplier it is, were they in OER boxes?

Maybe my run is better since it was a considerable time ago, but think I will get out there and test fit them. Dang.

They're from these guys:

Apparently they're "show quality" lol

I'll continue to fight with them and see how they turn out.

Along with the rear window fitment sucking, the part of the panels that go under the steel headliner trim above the door glass is too wide to fit under the trim. I was able to cut some of the plastic out to allow the steel trim to overlap it correctly, but man these panels certainly make you work for everything.
