Mark,
I can't say for sure if Heritage's inner door panel pieces are the same as
when I wrote that article back in '05 but if they are, the lower flap will
sit across the bottom of the door. The long narrow strip will have to be
bent into an arc to wedge under the lower inside steel door pocket flange
and arc down to fit tightly against the bottom outer corner casing to door
skin.
As I recall, the upper inner panel will have the cutout to fit under the
latch mounting plate assembly. So in your terms the notch will be in the
upper position to clear the latch. You'll need to bow the main panel a fair
amount to get things to pop into place, and carefully bend in both front and
rear end flaps tighter than 90 degree bends to get them into place.
Hope this helps.
Rich Chrysler
