TC door panels on a Sport door

So I am playing with the TC door panels and putting them into my sport. There are a couple problems with that. I noticed that the 2 bolt holes below the ramrest pad that hold the plastic too the door, the rear one bolts to nothing. The other thing I noticed is that the plastic part by the top of the arm rest (by the top where the door lock pad is), the tab is allways broken off. I know it hides behind the speaker cover. Is ther a repair or fix to that?

Thanks

There's little screwclips that you need from the TC doors to thread those screws into. As for the tab being broken, if you have the busted piece, you could superglue it.

I can't stand the TC door panels...I'm going to use the base panels, if I can ever find a decent set in gray.

I figured someone would have fixed this or modified it to work somehow.

You might check what I did with my panels.  FYI it's a PITA to do but it makes working in the doors easier.
