Okay, I guess I left that bit of info out. Yes, my D does have the big chunks of stainless, aka door guides. There is not a clunking sound of the door pin hitting the door guides, so I feel that the door has at least decent alignment. It looks closed when depressed, unlike my passenger side door. I can put all my weight on the drivers door, and the latches will not catch. DMCJoe says he has the answer, I will contact you as soon as I can. If I left out any other info, please let me know. Thank you, Darren Decker #5000
