Door panel rails

I recently purchased new door panel rails from Hawks Third Gen for my 1985 Trans Am. This is the black piece at the top of the doors. The driver's side had seven plastic pegs on the back side to attach the door panel to. However, the passenger side only has six pegs. I contacted Hawks and they sent me a new passenger side piece but it has the same problem, only six pegs. Has anyone else had this problem? Six pegs will probably hold the door panel but these pieces are not cheap so I would like to have all seven pegs.

Re: Door panel rails

Not sure what you mean by door panel rails? do you mean the plastic piece at the top of the door panel?

Re: Door panel rails

They will probably work,BUT,what peg is missing,that's where the problem is.Down the line you might be sorry for keeping them.Tell Hawks to correct the situation or return them.

Re: Door panel rails

I was just going to buy a set when I saw your post. I might order from A1, I see they have a set of both the inner and outer top rails.

Re: Door panel rails

I called Hawks. They checked and found this one peg was missing with all passenger side door panel rails they had in stock. They are going to contact their manufacturer.
