Thanks for all this info. Now to take this issue a step further.....
I'm replacing all of the 3/32" or whatever it is in in mm black panels with custom made panels to match the interior siding. For the panels I trim some barn wood to 1/4" thick and laminate it to 1/8" plywood, and use the plastic panels as templates when available. I use rivet nuts in the existing tab holes and 1/4-20 black hex head screws to secure it. Looks sharp all around.
So with regards to the PS rear barn door, with that handle trim on the stock plastic panels being held in place with locking plastic tabs, and that black plastic panel being roughly 3/32" of an inch thick, I'm wondering how to reinstall that handle mechanism trim onto my panels (3/8" thick) so that everything clicks into place again. I have some ideas in my head but before I experiment I'm wondering if anyone has already tackled this?
