Default Putting bottom panels back on

After 3 months got the car back and I took the bottom panels off and then drive to the dealer. I thought it would take me 10 minutes to put them back on. Well. I think it's an IQ test to figure out what panel goes where and in what order.

For re-install, start from front and work back. The rears are to be removed first for easy serviceing. So reverse order

If you're doing this on jack stands I don't envy you. Hopefully you have a lift. Beyond getting things aligned there are a lot of fasteners.

Get some cinderblocks or something to set the car on and then you can have access to all corners. Stands or lift arms will get in the way unless you're super careful on placement.

I do my car belly panels up on wooden blocks, I also get motion sickness from diving under and climbing out from under the car too quickly, too many times. erk...
