Default Door Panel Assembly Tutorial

Does anyone have a good video tutorial on assembling door panels? Specifically attaching the top metal and window sweeps.

I followed this guide when I did my unassembled panels for my 68.

One thing of note that I had to do was to flatten the original "teeth" on the original top metal- i could not figure out how to get them to bite into the new panels the way they did on the originals.

I pounded them flat with a hammer, then marked and drilled holes and pop riveted the panels to the door card. Worked like a charm.

This is literally the step that I was trying to figure out. Just could not mentally see it at all. Thank you, friend.
