Wind noise

[tjh]

Hey, thanks back to ya, tjh - if you hadn't asked this, I never would have noticed I was missing a bolt!

Wow, that's hard squeeze a camera into! Here's a shot of the top driver's side hinge with the door open, looking from the outside through the opening between the front fender (left side of photo) and the door (right side of photo). I think I see the same thing you are describing:

* The bolts are offset
** The top bolt is closer to the rear bumper
** The bottom bolt is closer to the front bumper

(Don't hesitate to describe how you need another photo from a different angle.)

Awesome ! that's exactly how mine are . How did you get that shot ? I just tried to snap a photo of mine and failed miserably . Thank you very much !

SOooo this must be false :"Catalog Note: LH or Left = Driver Side; RH or Right = Passenger Side "


Huh ! the washer hasn't fallen off , where your missing the bolt. Nothing but paint holding it there. I'm impressed.

That photo was taken with the base of the camera resting against the door about 2 feet away from the hinge. It was still on the macro (close-up) setting so I'm surprised it stayed in focus. But, I had the camera set on the highest resolution so I still had to crop and reduce the size to keep the final image from being obnoxiously huge.

I don't know what to say about that. 100% of the time, without fail, set in stone, it is "THE LAW" - left hand vs. right hand is ALWAYS determined as if you were sitting in the driver's seat. According to the part number you received - you got the wrong part. Both sides CAN'T be the same because, if rotated, the bolt holes would have been wrong. I'm stumped. But hey, it worked and you reduced your wind noise so.... WIN!

I'm impressed, too! I think it's funny that it will always be a mystery to me about how and why that bolt disappeared. Another point for the VX - even the paint is awesome! LOL
