Your biggest DIY screwups

Elan

I was changing my 6.5 door speakers. Got everything wired up and it was time to put the door panels back on. Well those plastic clips are literally the worst and who ever invented them should burn for it. Anyways I spent 2 hours trying to get the panel back on. Lining up 8 to 10 crappy plastic clips that fall out and bend is the most frustrating task...I actually got it on once but had to remove it cause the dang window regulator harness was stuck. I got it back on 90% of the way because I bent some door clips causing my door to not close properly. I was so frustrated with it that I said eff it, I'm taking to a shop and they popped it back in using replacement clips.

Now I carry 4 or 5 clips with me when doing audio work just in case. I won't touch those door panels alone however. I am really paranoid with them. Honestly I think the door panel should clip on similarly to how the two knee panels next to the center console using metal and strong ABS clips that are fixed to the piece IMO.
