Help! I bought 2010-2015 SS door panels (ABL included) on ebay thinking they would fit my 2011 LT convertible. Now that the door is completely disassembled I’m trying to insert them, I’m quickly finding out they do not fit.... the screws that hold the light pipe in place are in the way and the panel seems to be ever so slightly different. Any idea what to do? I don’t want to scrap the project and waste my $250 I invested in these panels, nor do I want to spend an exorbitant amount of time taking a dremel to it. Help 😭

That's really weird. I was under the impression that all of the panels from every model year 2010-2015 are the same dimensions. Then again, being a convertible may be the reason why. Some of the parts are ever so slightly different on the verts.

You bought a set of used OEM panels?

Yeah, they’re OEM. And I want to be clear it’s not the whole panel, but the oval shaped trim insert of the panel. Mine were originally cloth covered but The new ones are the silver gloss ones out of the SS (ABL light pipe Pre installed)

I also thought they were all interchangeable
