Re: [DML] Re: Plastic and Metal Door Guides



I'll admit that I don't really know if this is true, but here is my theory 
(please correct me if this is wrong):

I'm not sure that the mounting holes were even placed in the doors until it 
was time to install the guides.  I had to drill the holes in my door using 
the guide as a template.  I also believe that any version of the guides will 
fit any door.  It's just that the mounting holes would be in different 
spots.  In other words, if a car has never had guides, any new installation 
should fit.  I had to put guides on 1063 when my passengers began having 
trouble closing the door because they tended to "flex" the door a little 
while closing (I guess closing gullwings is unorthodox to them... go 
figure!).

By the way, I think the guides on my car came from the "crash" portion of 
Bernie's "crash and burn."
