  Im installing the interior door panels on my tudor slantback sedan. The panels are predrilled for clips to hold it tight to the door. My original clips dont look anything like the ones they sent me. Ill try to post some pics. The panels are from LB. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Bruce

  Use the clips provided by LB. Your panels are set up to used those clips. If your new panels came in large plastic bags I suggest you use those bags for a water barrier between your door and the new panel. I glue the plastic to the door and trim accordingly. It helps keep water off the panel and eventual warping of the panel.

  I know the clips are made for the door, but they don't line up with the holes in the door. The original clips were flat and slide under the flange on the inside of the door. Some of the holes are 1.5" away from the clips.

  It would be helpful if you posted a photo of the clips from LeBaron Bonney. Short of that, in your description draw a distinction between the door trim panels and the holes therein and the doors themselves and the holes therein. Your last post wasn't clear as written, at least to me, and I've installed a lot of LeBaron Bonney door trim panels using their clips.
