Umm... on my 96 i cut little slots in the panel after taking some extreme measurements.... if your measurement is the slightest off it wont fit on the door right...so take your time and be patient...

I bent the tabs straight out then pushed them through a piece of cardboard (the thinner the better). Once all the tabs were through the cardboard I traced a template of the insert to use on the door panel itself. Everything should line up perfectly. Now just make the holes in the door panel using the template. Although time consuming, it's always better to do it right the first time. Good luck!
