Yup, after market parts usually need some persuasion to fit correctly.
Original needs a good kick sometimes too.

Figured I’d follow up on this if anybody is searching for a good door skin. As expected, the TriPlus skin was equally bad as the Counterpart. The body lines were off by about 3/8” and I’m not even sure how folks use the complete skin successfully. I ended up doing the PS same as the DS, cutting between the body lines and basically tossing the top bit in the bin. Not exactly ideal when you’re paying $200CDN for a chunk of sheet metal.


Here’s a couple pics of how it turned out. Will still need some work, one side and the bottom need to be welded for gaps still.

I tacked a piece of angle iron to it before cutting to minimize panel distortion, it seemed to work pretty good.

That's when we would refer to aftermarket parts at the shop as "similar."

Glad you stuck with it. You made it line up straight.
