Okay, I admit it. I am no good with carpentry or electrical work. In making a cover for the door around the window and for the lower "square" portion, I am having a helluva time getting holes in the material in the right places to match the holes already drilled in the aluminum door. I had the material cut by a professional and it fits reasonably well-it's that flexible material from Lowe's that is often used for the headliner. I wanted something that would not wilt when wet, as in if the door gasket leaks. BTW, it is probably not the best material for this purpose, but it is the best answer I have so I am going with it.
But I need help in measuring. I have tried different things including making a pattern from used airliner material, but can't get the holes to line up. Need your help and advice. Thx,

BTW, I have Console Critter cup holders for sale. See ad under "GMC Swap Meet". Photos at Craigslist College Station, TX.
