There was nothing left of the closing panel but a mess of bodges so I have no photos of how it was supposed to be.  Have i got this right ?  The flange on the closing panel goes 'the other side' of the companion bin?

 

Thanks.

Neil, based on the last picture in your series the stiffener goes in like this. 

 

I read somewhere that it is has a twist in it - which mine  have will in order to meet the top of the inner sill where it meets the B pillar.

 

I am putting in a whole floor.  Wondering should I tack all this in place and fit the floor or fit the floor then put these in after.   Feels like it possible to slip the stiffener through the companion in, particularly if the closing panel is not in yet.

 

Any advice

 

Cheers.

The stiffener does tuck in under the B Pillar, so if you are fitting a full floor you can leave the stiffener out and the comapnion bin as you need to get to this area
