This MIGHT be you problem...

Depending on just what type of body you are working on, the lower back rear panel may be the wrong panel for your car...that is why you might be having the problem you are having.

Here is something I wrote up for another project currently on the back burner but slowly moving towards the front:

Although the 1928-1929 Roadster A-41406 Panel (Deck) Assembly—Lower (lower back panel) was different in height (apx. 9-1/2”) from the Coupes (Standard, Special, Sport and Business) (apx. 7-1.2”) where there was no bead above the Floor Cross Sill Assembly—Rear, where all Wheel Carrier Assemblies were assembled as seen in (Fig. 1). Either A-1379 Types 1, 2, 3 or 4 and/or A-1381 Types 1, 2 or 3, Wheel Carrier Assemblies (WCA) depending on application, were used during this time period. In 1929, the Cabriolet was added to the list and the lower back panel (apx. 7-1/2”) and remained as such thru the 1931 Slant Window Cabriolet with minor modifications. The Cabriolet had the same lower back panel assembly as the 28-29 Coupes. As the new WCA’s became available, they were incorporated into the production with no adjustment to the mounting flange of the panel. In this case, there will be a gap at the bottom of the flange where the 30-31 bead would have been (Fig. 2).

By using a lower back rear panel might get you to where you want to be!???????
