    Wanted to post here and see if anyone else already has the door molle panels from Victory, their install kit seems to just include a few screws and spacers and I wanted to ask how well if anyone has it have the screws held up just being drilled into the door panel itself without any sort of backing.

    Check the clearance between the seat and door panel with your door closed. These things are next to useless. If you have something skinny enough to fit, you aren’t accessing it with the door closed without the arms of a contortionist.
    I don’t trust self taping screws in plastic for anything I want to last.

    Yeah the plan for it to is hold a small med kit, flashlight, tourniquet, things I don't need while driving but useful to have on hand.

    Did some digging too and I found some rivet nuts that might be a good solution. I think I'm going to get it and see how it works out.

    Sounds like a great solution to the fastener issue. Just make sure that stuff will fit, especially the bag, before you pull the trigger. When I saw these I was initially interested until I couldn’t figure out what would actually fit there.
    Make sure and post pics if you get it set up!

    Yup, just ordered it.

    Molle Panels: 5-15 Business days according to them right so once I get it I'll report back how it goes and save people in the future the same trouble of searching lol

    Got the panels in today and I ended up going with the route of getting some threaded rivet insert and it worked out super well. I used size m5 inserts and screws to mount them.

    Drilled out holes in the door panel, used the rivet tool to rivet the insert, screws into holes, spacers in the back and bam it was done.

    Overall having them will be pretty useful for organizing.

    For those interested this is the rivet gun kit I own. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VPB676Y

    You should try out bulbed riv nuts next time if you are doing plastic. They spread the force out over a larger surface area for soft materials.

    Yeah, still a good gap from the door to seat.
