I didn’t have any trouble. I cutoff a bolt and ground a point on one end, then threaded it into the mount. I then put the liner on and pressed it against the sharp bolt to mark the location to drill.

This is what I did at first but needed to remove about two 3 inch sections between the welds you see on the right panel and I trimmed the clip on the ABS panel so it clipped to the door post..

mine is a 48, small window. There’s no bolt in option so it’s welded.

Here is what the small window brackets look like. This is a weld job to install. You will need to cut out liner for mounting boss (where top belt mounting screws in)
Here they are installed. They did not all fit. A few new words not suitable for women and children had to be invented. Similar to removing original hinge pin in time and difficulty. Surprised Mid-Fifty would sell something that the fitment is so bad. Just awful. Notice the slice and dice, the finger hole, the beautiful paint job.

BJ, you are talkin 53-56 right? I looked to try and send you pics of my install of the plates, but I bought a new laptop and they're not on here. If you want to look towards the end of my thread and you can see what I did. I cut part of the rear window lip so the plates would fit flat. It's not too bad of a job. Good luck.

Thanks all! Mine aren’t a perfect fit either but before I welded them in I wanted to hear from you all about upholstery fitting.
Sorry Greg Yes these are going on my 56 small window build from HELL that’s been in 3 bodyshops and has cost me more than either of my newer vehicles.
