Default Door Skins...A cunning plan

I've been looking forward to this bit even though I know it is going to be one of the trickier bits.

And the cunning plan is

VELCRO!

I've put 5 bits of velcro on the door skin, I've then attached the other half of the velcro to the part already stuck on the door. I've laid a 3mm steel flat bar on the sill and then placed the door skin as accurately as possible to the door, push hard to get the velcro to stick to the door and then remove the door and firmly press the velcro down.
You can then position the door skin as many times as you like in seconds. You can also open and close the door to check it isn't scraping against the bonnet.

I Know, I know, what a genius!!

Once I get the position spot on, I will drill a 4.2 mm hole in the edge of the door in 2 positions, 1 either side and glue a pop rivet with the centre steel removed. This way I have 2 fixed points to hang the door skin on accurately.
