A) The only couple of issues I had was getting started peeling the door panel off. Those clips were tough. So, trying to find finger access and/or using a pry tool without damaging the panel or paint. Just have to have patience and good strong fingers lol.

B)Also, putting it back, you will never be able to hang and tilt like I used to do back in the days. I tried it a few times and panel wasn't lining up correctly.

Then, I thought to remove (slide out) top weatherstripping and top clips and hanging both of those on the door. Then, the panel went on like butter.

C) Use the standard fuses to hold the inside mirror clips open.

D) Test fit halves and sand down carbon fiber to get a nice fit.

Those are the 4 advice bullets I can think of.

No issues with fit against the door. The carbon fiber cups never fully touch door itself. The weatherproof gasket will be what touches the door and that gasket is the same stock gasket the car came with so no issues there.
