I've seen the pictures for the AD but was hoping to see one for the TF. Is there a specific location or is it centered in the door. I dont want to close the door to find out its on wrong. Im having a hard time seeing how this works. It almost looks like its the wrong one.
Thanks,

Thanks for the picture. It makes sense now. Unfortunately I have the wrong retainers. The tags say 55-59 but its different than what you show. I bought it from a company several months ago so I guess Im stuck with it. Maybe when I figure out what it is to I can sell them.
Thanks

Thats not what I have. Mine are shaped like a "J" or an "L". They do have 6 oval holes and are around 31". Not sure how to post photos on this site. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | sounds like they're close, might need to try them upside down and downside up, or even modify them a bit - in the pic of my hand, they're in the position they'd go under the drivers door, the angle to the left pushes against the rubber, they're SS and the same dimensions as yours, maybe you could open the angle a bit to more of a V?.... if they're really wrong, might be 47-55, maybe even sold as 47-59, which would be wrong Bill | | |
