hi all,
thanks for all the good replies, i really appreciate it.
a) i can't be absolutely sure that there is no bar in the door - if they're small i may have missed it
b) i haven't checked the driver's side, this will help me compare them
c) i've contacted DOTARS by email, no reply as yet
d) obviously if the door has no bar fitted, i'll get them put in.
it's an interesting problem - there's a moral hazard to not telling dotars, and a moral hazard to telling them...hmmm....
