So I hop on fleabay again, (ebay is evil) and I find a dash trim set for 20 bucks. I see the title of the auction as "3 piece set" and I think cool, I am in business to correct something that is not right. In the excitement, I didn't even realize that to be a complete set it needs to be a four piece set. One for the left side, over the radio, glove box door and the right side corner.
So of course I am missing the glove box piece and don't even realize it till the little box shows up in the mail box.
To add insult to injury, the left side corner trim piece doesn't fit!!!! it is too short!!! Then I realize....it is short because it goes to a dash with the pushbutton automatic module in place. This was an original three on the tree car so the dash is blank where the push buttons would go.
So now the mystery is coming into light and my theory is that V200 or V100 ...regardless, the trim was not on cars with a manual shift because the trim was made to go around the push buttons on the automatic only.
Waste of 20 bucks but very interesting stuff and worth it for the adventure LOL
