Guys/Gals,
Is there an easy trick to installing the rubber door stops on a 356 Cab?

Re: Rubber Door Stops
If you're asking about the stops which hold the doors in the open position, they just bolt to the front wheel closure panels and theires some adjustment for their lips fit the door's leading 'step' when opened. )
The bottom stops will make sure the doors won't get damaged from 'bottoming out'
metal-to-metal when fully opened.

Re: Rubber Door Stops
There is a trick to installing them but it isn't easy. I contorted my arms in every angle possible... reach in with one arm in and the other outside the door etc. Finally I resorted to that last remedy, swallowed my pride and called out for my sweet wife to help hold a bolt in the rubber door stop. It can of course be done with the door still attached but I could not figure out a way to do it alone!
