I no longer have this car where the door was replaced.
You may be right about installation; however this door
was different in sound and feel. Perhaps it was
lighter, heavier or had a different guage of metal.
The impression I got, wrong or right, was it was a
cheap replacement. When I talked to the bodyshop they
said they had to use an alternative because the
insurance company would pay only so much. It was
annoying also because the bodyshop put in a new lock,
so I had to have an extra key for the door. The door I
want to replace is for the 87. There is bubbled rust
near the door handle. Bad stuff I hear.
