Re: [DML] DOOR GUIDES

The first 600 cars that left the factory did not have door guides, these
items were added as of Service Bulletin ST-14-9/81 which was issued after
the factory was notified of problems with the latching of the doors. All
cars leaving the factory after Vin 1100 were fitted with Door Latch Guides.
