The finishers round the rectangular handles just slide into place from =

tearing the vinyl, and a cool day is better than a very warm one.  Also =

On my 73 and 75 there is just the plastic piece that goes in the =

in the door.  Other liners are screwed directly to the body panels.  =
Earlier door cards that were held in with screws may well have had =
plastic sockets that pushed into the door holes, then the screws went =
