I know that I fitted the back legs of the spider first, as per the manual. After that, I made many measurements with the front of the spider, trying to triangulate to different points in case some of the frame bracing didn't coincide with the centreline of the car. You have to remember that the original moulds were allegedly taken off a damaged then repaired original vehicle, so in effect we are all living with the original panel beaters work [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif[/img]
If you check out some of the photos on my build, you'll see in which areas I had the most problems. I recall cutting quite a bit out of the leading edge of the left door and there was also a bit of material that came out of both A pillars. My left door was bigger than my right door and it didn't matter how much manipulation the spider received, the door wouldn't fit. I also remember taking material off the bottom edge of the right door..... Probably sounds different to what other RF owners have experienced.
Check out the RF photos in the build pages and see where work was done.
As far as the photos above are concerned, they are provided by RF as an option and help keep water out of the doors/cabin if you are caught in the rain.

Hope this helps

Bill.
