[DML] Re: doors rubbing T panel

["blackaddertoo" <blackaddertoo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi

in the workshop manual, i think it does say to bend the tabs (or 
clips it calls them).

i did it carefully, and panel lifts at the back but pad is holding 
it and seems reluctant to let go.

does the panel need to be glued down?

regards

Steve
