Y33 door panel help

Is there some sort of trick to reinstall the rear door panels in a Y33? I changed out a rear window motor and putting the door panel back on is whipping me... Please tell me someone else has had this problem and help me figure it out!

I tried that... Not sure why this is such a PITA to me. Maybe because I have big hands and no patience

roll window down
put front corner in, make sure its all the way in
then bang down where the small pillar is between the 2 windows
sometimes its easier if you use pliers to flair the metal lip outwards near the small pillar

the rears are a bitch but with some finger muscle strength you can flex the door panel to get it over the top edge. Come down at a angle rather then straight on helps too.

Sorry for super delayed response. Ended up bending the sheet metal at the top out just a bit for more clearance to get my big ass hands in there. Finally got it back together!
Thanks for everyone's advice. Great community when you ca. Get help for such a simple task. Anywhere else and I would have gotten flamed...
