This may also involve notching the overhead panel for the bracket. If you are getting the after-market PlaneAround DOOR STRUT ATTACH BRACKETS, do not match drill with a #12 bit since the holes are already threaded for 10-32 bolts. Consider match drilling with a #22 bit, then enlarge the hole to #12. You may have to chase the threads with a 10-32 tap if the drill damaged them.
