** E104 is a pickup. If the MODEL code
does show E104, the left door has been changed, which means some/all of this info is in-correct.
What happened was: The original left door was damaged, and replaced with a used door from a pickup.
When this occured, whoever did this...forget to install the original Warranty Plate on the replaced door.
