Re: Markeb01 Build Thread

Next up using the template provided in the kit, I marked the rear edge of the door for cutting, and removed the piece with a Dremel tool and a cut off wheel. By the way that cut off wheel was brand new when I started! It made a perfect incision and no trimming was needed. Next, per the instructions the latch was connected to the mounting plate, and attached to the door using the only factory inner door panel mounting plate hole that lined up. The holes were marked and drilled, and it was subsequently discovered that the outside door handle probe was too high, and would not release the door latch. So after hours of refiguring everything, I redrilled the holes higher up and the latch fit and worked perfectly.
