Default Door Panel

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/50969/panel.jpg"></center><p>Just went through frustrating process... I had my windows tinted and the shop took a chunk out of the front drivers sdie door panel and cracked the wood trim. THe good thing was they acknowledged the damaged and ordered new parts (they claim they were $600). Well they installed them yesterday and the ended up ripping the door panel slightly again and the trim piece that goes where your hand grabs the door to close the door doesn't fit right. Any tips on getting this piece to fit flush as it should. You can see from the pic that it just doesn't want to meet flush up top. Any help would be appreciated.

It does click into place, but there is a gap at the top. Just one of those things that pisses me off.

Default Ditto to all these... just pry, push, prod, pull, poke and punish it until it gets in there...

it WILL fit with no gap, I get the exact same problem a lot, just seems like it wont fit until *snap* ...and it does.
