As I'm sure you know OEM is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

Just curious,because it would"hide" the cutout/insert behind the belt a little more.
Just being curiously anal..not nitpicking your install.haha
It would actually be ideal if the cut-out could be slightly farther forward the front of the vehicle. Maybe another half inch, maybe three quarters of an inch or so.
However, on the backside of the panel the front-most part of my cut-out is running into one of the snap-fasteners that hold the panel on. In fact, I cut right into a small part of the plastic extrusion which holds the fastener. Any further and you lose that plastic extrusion and fastener. Which wouldn't be a big deal, but it is the fastener right on that corner. If you lose it, I am not sure how well the panel would hold. And that spot is right where the panel would lift up and get caught on something going into the backseat. Or just lift up and look like ass.
I've still got my tester-panels, I can take a pic for you tomorrow from the backside. You'll see what I mean.
I also need to get the drivers side panels back off. But I am not doing that until I run by Harbor Freight or Auto-stoned and pick up a couple different sized panel puller tools. I re-attached my panels and used all the fasteners. Every one of them, I had a bunch of spares from the scrapyards. Probably the first time I have used all the fasteners since it was new. But.....on the drivers side I need to shave just a bit more material from the belt-route below the new trim rings. The passenger side retracts just fine, my drivers side needs a little bit of assistance to retract. No problems to fix once I pull the panels. Just gonna shave a bit more material from the opening with the box cutter razor.
