Do I feel stupid
I bought the key hole covers from Southern Car parts (looks great). The price was one for 19.00 or two for 29.00. My thought was, I have two doors so I need two. What idiot would only buy one for the drivers door. WELL, as many of you know the passenger door does NOT have a key hole. What a surprise to me. As they say, "Here's your sign".

LOL. Well, 97-99 have both lock cylinders. The passenger side lock was eliminated in 2000. Sell the other cover to someone with a 2000 or newer.

Didn't we have a horror story about a member who had to unlock using the key and had a very hard time removing his magnetic cover?

Easier? I don't think so. Cheaper, yes, but easier? Also, two sided tape may make it difficult to remove the cover, if you ever need to use the key to unlock the door. Just a thought.
