Accessing inner door panel for Dynamat

Just need to order up the wire retainers I cut out of the way along with figuring out a way to hold a backup washer while I re-rivet the panels back in place. Nissan must attach this inner panel to the tracks "before" they put the glass in. Anyway, am absolutely jazzed about how much more I had access to for installing the Dynamat. Just need to order up a few more sheets before I open up the driver's door.
If anyone is contemplating doing their doors, this is the only way to do it...
