If there are existing screw holes in the door itself, and I am using a
fabric covering, I use a needle pointed scribe and pierce the fabric and
probe the existing holes. If I am using a rigid faced panel, I use trim
screws with a washer head to secure the panel. Sometimes called by other
names, but they incorporate a stainless or Chrome plated brass washer under
the screw head. Fairly forgiving, you can use a bit larger hole and align
the panel with the edge of the door. On my own coach, I used Naugahyde to
cover the door. Sheds water very well, and scuff resistant. Not dog claw
proof however.
