Help with door handle/window cranks - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I made my door panels out of thin plywood and covered with vinyl. I am using the factory upper trim. The new panels are not as thick. There is a big gap between door handle and window crank and panel. Has anybody ran into this or have any suggestions?

Thanks

There should be a foam doughnut that fits over the shaft to support the panel.

My new panels are flat, I think that is what's causing my gap. The factory panels stick out a little.
