 Sorry to be such a bother of late, but I am trying to install a hinge cover on my 55. It came out easy enough but has become a little problematic re- installing. Should I have the door partly closed? All the way opened? I get it set in and bolt it up to find it binding every time. I know there are a couple dogs I have to slide the bracket into but I just ain't getting it. Any suggestions?   Paul

Sorry, I took a little break ,came back and saw the obvious! The little posts that I thought were stops were what the ends slid into. DUH!!  ::)

 ;D  Oftentimes it is good to walk away from something like that that is problematical and take a fresh look later.
