Interior reassembly question

[gogmorgo]

Is there a fastener of some kind holding this?

It’s the panel that goes along the bottom of the door opening. It looks to me as though there should be something, but no hole drilled, no evidence of adhesive, doesn’t even look to be witness marks of anything on either the plastic or door pillar. 
 

I’m putting this thing back together after having pulled it apart four years ago. No recollection of what went where, fortunately theres not many panels or fasteners so it’s not too bad, but… well it looks like something should go there, both sides have the standoff, it just doesn’t look like anything was ever there. Without pulling apart my other MJ to look, it feels like there’s something holding it, but I’d have to pull it apart.

All mine have been like that also, no fasteners, no holes.

I think I remember this coming up a few times, after posting. Its bizzare. But there you go.

Maybe the next time it comes apart it’ll get something. Maybe not.

Its quite possible that the original design called for a screw to be located there, and they removed it as a cost cutting measure when they found it did little to help the panel security.   I put one in that position anyhow on my MJ, as I figure the more secure stuff is, the less likely it is to squeak and rattle.

I'm glad I read this because the rear cab interior is coming up next. Thanks!
