custom tahoe door panel help

^^^Agree but grind into the door material a bit so the bondo/marglass retains some thickness at the edge. 1/16" to 1/8" or so is all it should take. Also grind it with a heavy grit--I use 24 grit discs on a right angle air grinder--so it has some tooth for the material to grab on to. Also drilling a couple holes an inch or less away from your edge will allow some material to ooze through and grab that way too.

Mask the line you want with a couple layers, take your time, and create that sunken edge. It'll also give the material two surfaces to bond to, the flat and the lip you made, plus the holes if you if you do it that way.

Feathering out works great on body panels but something that gets slammed repeatedly (or takes the pounding of a 10" woofer) like a door needs a bit more robust edge.

ok I will give that a try too thanks

Could also drill holes in the door panel and put some bolts into glad/bongo you do going through the holes. Cover them with the bongo/glass do they aren't seen and put a but and washer in it to hold it to the door a bit better.
