From your description the seam on each side between the panel and quarter may be filled by PO. If this is the case you may have a problem with the paint in this area. Pictures would help with a fix. In any case, when I replaced my lower panel, rumble seat, I found that the top of the panel and the rumble lid did not fit. Removed the panel and removed the upper cross brace and replaced it with the original cross brace removed from original panel and the panel fit like original.
