I need these as well as my rear door doesn't have these mounting holes either.

The top and bottom location dimensions are great.  Thanks.

OCD kicking in.....I wonder why the brackets aren't centered left to right though?  Why wouldn't the left and right holes just be 9 1/2" from the respective edges to center the brackets on the door laterally?  I guess in the grand scheme 1/4" shift to one side isn't a big deal, it just bugs me!
