I would have done a bumper, except they’re wonder plastic.There was a member here--from Texas too, who had one mounted on his rear bumper. You Texans love your cold ones lol.

It was on an nbs.I would have done a bumper, except they’re wonder plastic.
I just did that and it still doesn’t sit flush. I think the weatherstrip might be bad cause it’s bowing out a bit.It’s not hooked at the top properly. It’s not going to go flush unless you remove it and get it to sit tight at the top. That area by the lock needs to be tight to the metal of the door. There’s 2 grooves in the weatherstrip and it’s hooked in the wrong one.
I drilled some holes in the pushbar to mount additional emergency equipment.

Maybe the weatherstrip isn’t installed right. IIRC it can be installed backwards. The panel should fit like this.I just did that and it still doesn’t sit flush. I think the weatherstrip might be bad cause it’s bowing out a bit.
On another note.
I replaced both the driver side position sensor and the seat belt. Airbag light still on. Tech 2 is still reading the same code.
Blah

Take the door panel off, then fix the weatherstrip on the panel then re-install, these panels are super easy, the 15+ are a pita.I just did that and it still doesn’t sit flush. I think the weatherstrip might be bad cause it’s bowing out a bit.

The NBS are the super easy ones. They don’t even use clips, just hooks and 2 screws. Pull the screws, lift it straight up. They have been getting harder to remove with every new generation.Take the door panel off, then fix the weatherstrip on the panel then re-install, these panels are super easy, the 15+ are a pita.
Glad it's on the outside and not the insideI drilled some holes in the pushbar to mount additional emergency equipment.
