Most body mount kits contain pads that are not used. As you replace the pads, keep a close watch on the way the doors fit. It is a good idea to measure the gap before starting the replacement. Any difference from the original will affect the latches and dovetails. Same is true regarding the fit of the rear end of the hood to the cowel.
