Subject: Door pull straps

I noticed something interesting about my car and thought I would get 
some feedback on it.

My car is vin 5096. The door pullstraps moved from the handle to 
attached to the arm rest around vin 5993 (from what I understand of 
course, correct me if i'm wrong). Now the fun, my passenger side was in 
a fender bender years ago, before I got the car, and the damage was 
repaired then (still have broken glass falling out of the door though). 
I have both armrests off on both sides (doign a major cleaning). The 
driver side has the hole with plastic piece in the armrest for a 
pullstrap but no actual strap. The passenger side looks like it was 
recovered at some point and the hole, visible from the back, is covered 
up. So, what are the chances my car had pullstraps although the vin is 
too low? I'm starting to think mine may have sat around at a QA center 
or pulled from the production line for a period of time.

Samuel

Looking at this website, it appears as though someone has already 
completed the tranny swap. And while I don't read German, and the 
translation performed online wasn't the best, the results do indeed appear
tp 
be pretty positive over all.
