Abstract: A vehicle panel mounting jig includes a first block assembly having a first arm extending substantially perpendicularly at a first mounting jig end, and a second block assembly having a second arm extending substantially perpendicularly at a second mounting jig end and also an opening defined within an inside second block end wherein an inside first block end of the first block assembly is configured for placement therein. The first block assembly and the second block assembly are coupled with an internal tension device. Each of the first arm and the second arm may include a notch formed on an inside radius, and one of the block assemblies may include a handle extending at either the first mounting jig end or the second mounting jig end.
