A positioning tool (100) includes a lift mechanism (102), multiple curved rails (106), a carriage (110), and multiple clamps (114). The lift mechanism (102) has multiple stages (104) configured to move linearly between a retracted position (152) and an engaged position (154). The curved rails (106) are mounted on the stages (104). The carriage (110) is coupled to the curved rails (106) and is configured to be adjusted into an alignment with a panel (82). The clamps (114) are coupled to the carriage (110) and are configured to releasably couple a part (88) to the carriage (110) while the stages (104) are in the engaged position (154), hold the part (88) in the carriage (110) while the stages (104) are between the engaged position (154) and the retracted position (152), and releasably couple the part (88) to the carriage (110) while the stages (104) are in the retracted position (152).
