Anyone else have an issue with kick panel fit?

Happens on both driver and passenger now as I did the remote start and remote tailgate lock mods. Trim refuses to stay in the groove as if it's warped. Confirmed nothing behind it and it's set correctly on/in the tabs/slots as far as I can tell, and the floor clip is on. It wants to just slide off the top. Image of passenger door side.

 

Had the same problem. That panel has not been properly reattached.

Remove the panel. On the body of the vehicle there are two plastic plugs - white I believe. Pop them out with a plastic trim tool or screwdriver. Be careful not to bend them.

Insert the plastic plugs in the kick panel itself... you see how to orient them as there’s a flat side to the plug. Now you can slide the panel back into place, guiding the plugs into the holes you just pulled them from. Panel should now be flush.

Hope this makes sense.

 

Those clips are angled too, which makes the attachment process more of a sliding forward as you push the panel on. It's a little tricky, but it will go flush like you said.

 

exactly like he said ^^^^^^^^^^^^

the clips, most likely came off the panel and are stuck in the sockets. remove taking note of orientation and place back on panel and it pops right back in.

 

Update - was able to remove the clips using this "string" method (came out pretty easy actually without damage): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEjVd_Gscbc

Reinserted clips, pushed trim back in, fits like a glove. Took all of 5 minutes to fix both sides.

Thanks for the tips all!

 

Drivers side, ever since I did fog light mod and when I took to get alarm installed, I even bought clips, still won't stay in right

 

How is the fit of your front door panel at the upper rear corner? After looking at your pics I went out and checked some of my panels and my door panels dont actually fit around the rear window frame properly.

 

Here is a pic of mine

 

Not a perfect fit but probably how it's supposed to be.

 

Thanks. Weird. Its as if their model was just a 1/4” off.
