Finally got some time home and finished this project. Well, almost finished. Still waiting on the thumb screws. I’ll do 2-3 per door and that should be enough.
Passenger side panel. If someone cared they could color the rivets.

The drip ledge worked better than I expected for vertically-inclined fluids. It's now been in the rain several times. Also seemed to function during the hose-downs. Pressure washer is a different story, and so far untested, but all probably depends on the angle of attack.
Whatever gets over the top of the panel (at low speed) tends to run down the inside of the hinged panel instead of running down the blow-molded storage area. The hinge has mud on it (most likely came in thru the front), but the storage contents stayed clean and dry.
I increased the bend in the threshhold a bit where the panel sets out the furthest, in this case the corner above the double E in Pioneer, but this varies with each install.
The longer strip at the lower part of the door top was cut in width by about a quarter inch, and the adjacent angled strip was tapered to match at the miter joint.
I'm a "form follows function" guy, so if it works, it looks good to me.
