Default '63 Glove box door assembly question

Hey, guys.

I have a spank-new Trim Parts repro glove box door for my '63. Nice piece. I could use a sanity check about the proper assembly sequence.

The assembly illustration that accompanied this new door does not agree with the illustration in the TSB that Frankie was kind enough to forward to me recently, and I'll bet he's aware of this.

The Trim Parts illustration shows the hinge leaf under the bottom flange of the door, with the reinforcement above the flange of the door, such that the door is sandwiched between the two, and the reinforcement and the screw heads would end up inside of the compartment when the door is closed.

The TSB shows the stack-up the other way around, with the reinforcement under the door's flange, and the hinge leaf on top of the door, such that the reinforcement and screw heads would be outside of the compartment.

I'm 99.9% certain that the TSB is correct, and that Trim Parts botched their illustration. Theirs seems nonsensical to me for multiple reasons.

TIA for any guidance.

Live well,

SJW
