It's entirely conceivable to me that your door was built and the rods adjusted on it 2 months prior to your car being released from the factory. Our assembly department routinely assembles kits from parts made at different times, sometimes years apart. Generally items are produced, QC'd and stockpiled for later use in a larger assembly. What would seem weird to me, would be an April build car that used parts built in June. I really don't think it's much of a mystery. Probably, your door was assembled in April, QC'd in May, and installed on the car in June. Ryan Bennett >> Ryan, I am not questioning when the door rods were adjusted on the door. But this note I found inside the door mentions checking the window lift switch and checking the door lights to make sure they turn on when the door opens on the car. Is that a little more info for you? I guess this has to be one of the many mysteries of the DeLorean Car. It is beyond me that a photocopied paper that has written in blue ink dated April 29, 1981, that has on it the procedure to set the door locks, to make the power locks work, make sure the window goes up and down, make sure the electric mirrors work, and checking the door lights are inside the door of a car that was built June of 1981. So...what your saying, Ryan, that it is possible to check the windows, the power locks, the door lights and the electric mirrors when the door is off the car? Happy Holidays Everyone!! later, Nick VIN#1852
