Description

Corrected the angle of the outer edge to sit pretty close to perfectly flush with the panel in my S10. Angle may not be exactly correct for yours. Depth may not be correct to sit in the original holes in tact, the backs are fully broken out of mine so it's a non-issue. My lower two aren't broken so I haven't bothered with them.

Print same as original design, on their side. For appearances, the part to face downward should be the higher part of the outer edge, furthest from where the screw bottoms out. The ugly overhangs will be facing generally towards the floor in the truck that way.

The one with the more tilted outer edge is for the left side.

putting some thin foam or rubber under the edge might help distribute the force on the panel a bit better.
