Best of luck with the progress today mate, i hope the weather is much better where you are than it is here

Had a look at the arch pic that you sent too.

So the arch bit and the flat bit go in place ok, but the bit in the middle where it changes direction seems a bit out of shape and wont hold itself in place?

Does it push in to position ok still when you hold it in place and then move back outwards when you move away?

2 options really: a new panel thats still in perfect shape (blue one shouldnt be tricky to find) or you could park the side of the car by a wall if theres somewhere handy. Put some of the sealant behind that point, then place a cloth on the panel so the paintwork doesnt get marked and then with a length of wood prop it between the panel and the wall so that it pushes the panel firmly against the car whilst the sealant sets.

After that especially if youre using tiger seal or something similar it should stick solidly in place.
