Yep, group 2 item numbers 10249744 RH and 10447810 LH, DOOR HDLP OPG,
but I quit on a manual update at 2001 because I don't need those
number anymore since I went to the C6. Just saying the numbers may
have changed after 2001 but I doubt it on those items although the
side shields and plugs did change, items 4 and 32 group 2, sometime
before 2001.
