Bill- Interesting- so far I've seen postings of people with short closet doors (non interfering) as early as 87, and long closet doors (table interfering) as late as 89. Mick Kalber and yourself both have 89's, and he has a short door and you have a long door. That is very interesting and have no idea why that would be. They may have used left-over short doors/closets now and then to get rid of them or something...(?!) Another production mystery... I am going to post this to the list too and perhaps someone can shed a little more light on the matter... IMHO, it's not that hard to swing the table out to open the closet.
