In most cases, the information is all there in front of you. It is up to the interpreter to make sure all the information is used. Not using the information given to you can cause problems, especially if you take the wrong thing as "the truth".

You have a wealth of knowledge and information but your tack is terrible, even though you have good intentions.
Anyhow, my point was it is much easier for people to know Model Year 2004 vs. 2003, and he already stated he has MY2004, and it's could be confusing to point out unnecessary details that might even be incorrect!

Dealer told me that the instructions that I posted do not work for the earlier 2004 models, but dealer could ne wrong. To be on the safe side, go by the last 6 digits of the VIN.
