I need to install my trim on my new Al Knoch deluxe door panels. Anyone have any suggestions or neat tricks to put the holes in the panels for the trim clips to go through?

I'm a little confused..
My Al Knoch deluxe door panels had slits for the clips. Turn them the right way and they lined up perfect. For the lower screws, I used a hot-hot scratch awl to poke holes. (like butta').
If that doesn't help, post a pic of your problem..

I used bottle gas to heat up the ABS backing and make the panel lay flat.

My panels did not have the trim piece holes already. I used an Exacto Knife to poke slotted holes in the right places and slid the trim piece tabs in. A knife like this http://www.king-tool.com/img/tools/tool ... e-sets.jpg
For the bottom holes I poked them with an ice pick and then put the screw through.

I'm not a genius on deluxe door panels, but are we asking about the clips that hold the panels to the doors, or the chrome trim strips on the panels (my non deluxe door panels have chroime trim strips)
