4th gen door panel questions

Ok so I have my 4th gen door panels mocked up on my door my issue is when I go to close my doors the front upper corner pushes against my dash. Is it possible to get these to fit before I change the dash? I was holding off on my dash until I had the new engine in (v6) equipped right now. Any feed back from anyone who has 4th gen panels with the 3rd gen dash would be appreciated

I have always read they hit the 3rdgen dash. They don't even work right with a 4thgen dash swap.

Everything you need to know about these working properly or not is in this thread. There is a variety of responses.

What I did was trim the edge of the panel, then fire up the heat gun and pushed the outer corner towards the outside. To be honest, it still rubs a little, but not as bad as it did.

Sorry, this is an old picture, but its the best I could do for the moment.

I think I'm going to modify the side of my dash instead of the panels.
