Why did you replace them in the first place?  I simply am asking because the
doors on my '86 4kcsq tend to work their way partially open after a bit of
driving.  Not so much that they are actually coming unlatched, but the road
noise gets louder after a while, and larger bumps cause a noticeable noise
from the doors moving.  Would replacing the posts help this problem?
Also, how did you align them to make sure they didn't get screwed up?
Get them from the dealer, or does Rod at the parts connection have them?
How much did they cost you?
Thanks,
