I had never noticed this before, but the microfilm shows two different door 
handles. There is a smaller one that goes with the panels without pockets, just 
like this car has

Screws? Really? I didn't realize that this was an option. Does that mean that 
the steel panel underneath has different holes in it? Or do these screws go in 
places where the more common, at least to me, clips and rubber sockets go?

By "wrap-around" I mean that the vinyl sheet wraps around the edge of the 
backing so that you can't see the backing at all, until you pull the whole 
panel off.

I was wrong. The microfilm does not show the line lengths. I think I've used 
88" for the long center line, but 89" would be better.
