Parts book lists part number change for item by change in VIN #.

Depending upon which version of the Parts Manual you reference, you may not have a complete understanding of some updates.

Very early changes were often difficult to track, and even with a VIN range specified, some very early cars did not adhere to all the changes.

One change is the difference between the early gas flap hood (VIN...500 thru VIN..1301) and the later gas flap hood (VIN..1302 thru VIN..3200).

The early gas flap hood has bolts that pass through the holes in the hood hinges and into drilled and tapped capture plates within the hood.

The later gas flap hood attaches with nuts and washers on threaded plates within the hood, that pass through the hinges to mount the hood.

Note: The latest VIN that I have seen the early gas flap hood installed is VIN..1001. I personally have owned VIN..1077 and currently own
VIN..1177, and each of these cars have the later gas flap hood (both of which appear to have been this way since installed at the factory).

"Up to VIN 04187—double-key system with an ignition key and separate 
door key with integrated illumination"


My car, VIV 0747 has a single key system. Don't know if it would make a difference but my car was a Company Use Car Originally.

2100 has sun visors with the fabric side facing out when stowed.

And don't forget the ever-changing face of the HVAC panel...
