Re: [DML] DOOR GUIDES

[Hank Breer <hbreer@xxxx>]

Joe,

Better check that Service Bulletin again. Service Action SA-0005
states that there were 2 door latch guide kits: W300003 for cars up to
VIN 1100 and W300004 for cars after. (My car, VIN 1141 needed the
W300004 kit to add the guides that were NOT installed by the factory)
The SA implies (but does not specifically state) that cars up to VIN
3000 are affected. Since VIN 3000 is an August 1981 build and the
bulletin was issued in September, the timing is about right.
