tricks to re-install door panels?

[mike_ct]

Besides being on super super tight, the pins aren't the usual ones I've seen on door panels..its a 2-part, a tapered pin on the door pane, and a receiver that stays in the door.

It seems, I can't push the door panel "in" enough to make the pin engage and snap in to the receiver..any tricks other than pushing harder and beating the crap out of the panel to get it to go in?

are you suppose to remove the "receiver" half that's left in the door, and pre-install them onto the pin-half on the panel, and install the panel that way?

Just have to push super hard. I would give them a little pop with my hand over the top of the door panel. Not too forceful, but enough to pop it in there.
