Re: [DML] door guides

["DMC Joe" <dmcjoe@xxxx>]

Wayne,

The factory issued the first service bulletin concerning problems with door
latch to door guides alignment as of vin# 1100. Between car 1100 and 3000
door guides were fitted to all new cars out of the factory. The factory also
provided three different variations of door guides for all cars already
sold, in storage, or at dealerships.

If you have an 82 with no door guides this is not the norm. I have never
seen a DeLorean above vin# 3000 without door guides. The only scenario I
could imagine is that at some time in the past your original doors were
changed.

"We're here to help you"
Seasons Greetings!
