Most door panels should have some the hole locations marked in the cardboard.???
Tip if you want it is to use Velcro instead of the clips. Looks the same once it's together and far easier to take apart later.

Got a photo of the back of your panel?
Is it an original or aftermarket?

Factory had a kind of arrowhead in the cutouts for clip orientation, but I think the barbs ft/rear are at the outermost location.
I don't have an original one to photo, but I would think someone here will.
Otherwise it's going to take some measuring/mock-up.
Bummer they don't punch those out of the backing, since EVERY car used them...

Yea the originals on my Charger are arrow shaped....I may be able to use those to figure out...or trial and error. Was just wondering if there was a diagram somewhere. Legendary should provide for the price of these things....

I could see what my original 68 panels have when I get home. But I will throw this out there. You may not want to use those clips. They will imprint on the vinyl on the other side. DAMHIK. The factory used a stamped flat steel one like the picture I attached. Not sure if AMK or or someone has them.

Yes, those clips can telegraph thru to the vinyl panel.

I've seen both types used; the flat ones seem better for showing through.
Main thing is you don't just whack the panels onto the car, take your time & line everything up.

I have the wire ones on my Charger...cant see anything on the panels... what was original... ?

They used both styles, but the guys are right, the flat style is really smooth on aftermarket panels. Original material was tougher and thicker on both door panels and seat upholstery and didn't show as much.
I just ordered some NOS seat material dated 1968 and was shocked at how thick it is compared to Legendary stuff.
