In the accessory brochure from 1966, among several items, door handle shields are displayed as option # 40 as in the picture here attached.
I was wondering if anybody on this forum had issues with the installation...they are supposed to slide and get trapped under the door handle and rubber seal... but to me it seems virtually impossible to properly re-alligned the handle screws once the shields are in place. Anybody's feedback on that?

I'll try again, I failed my first attempt when I tried to slide the guard under the handle.. doing so the handle moves slightly outward...as a result I loose clearance for the handle screws to slide back into the assigned holes...maybe I have to work more on the black rubber seal (it seats under the handle and it protects the door paint)...
