Power door panels on a manual door

I tried doing a search, but only found people asking about it and some that said it would work, but no follow up post or photos. I set the power door panel on my door and the window crank sticks through right about in the middle of the hole for the 2 power window switches on the driver side. With the window crank on, there is still a good amount of the hole visible. Has anyone swapped their door panels and how did you hide the hole in a way that looks nice. I thought about getting a piece from a trophy shop to cover it and extend out far enough to have them engrave "LSX" or something like that. I would really like to see what others have done. Thanks

Did you come up with a solution? I have the same problem but haven't made it far enough to address that yet.

Re: Power door panels on a manual door

I wasn't able to make the power window panels look "right". I found a member here selling a pair of deluxe manual door panels shortly after posting this so I just bought them and sold the pair I had.
