The drivers side is where the problem IS APPARENT.. Everything that bolts to the bar will not align up , a good amount of fettling is needed, you can see evidence of where the factory or somebody else has tried to improvise and do a quick 'fix', hammer marks are seen on the inner panel.

There is alignment issues with the Arch Bar, there are extra holes drilled and oblong one as well. This will be a “loosely bolt” it together until all panels are on
