I think it is a common problem with all on the passenger side.

I had to tweek the bottom to get it to fit.

This is also common with most repops though.

I dont think I have a video on the inner kick panel yet but ill put one up on the next one I do. Ive got some pictures out of my phone if it helps.

I had to add ~1" to make it fit. I havent had a chance to clean that one up yet but you get the drift. The red circle is really the only reason to buy the replacement panel. If you want to/have the skills to make that rolled edge you could easily make it yourself. I had to manipulate it anyway to match the factory edge.

I replaced the whole floor pan in that truck so that's the last step.

Here is another example where the right curve is the only thing I used of the patch panel.

I had one on hand so I just cut it off, If I didnt have them already I would make it vs buying it. A 4x8 sheet of 18 ga is ~60 bucks
