I think that they were put in the trunk at the factory. My only point in all this is that they are not standard and therefore not the responsibility of the dealer. Why they are there, no one seems to know. But Ford does not list them for the '99's. SVT, Customer Service, my buddy in Detroit...none of them can find the line item that says "wheel locks: standard". Hey, it's a mystery :). Gotta love a mystery. Anyone know someone actually on the line or part of the production management team? :) Dan '99 Cobra convertible Born 4/28/99, #1570 > -----Original Message----- > From: James Wihardja [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, November 23, 1999 5:58 PM > To: Norcross, Wayne > Cc: 'Rande Bellman'; SCOA news group > Subject: Re: SCOA: Wheel locks ( I Called SVT Myself too!) > > > Wow, > > I called SVT, and they told me "Nope, no wheel locks on those cars the > dealers must have thrown them in as an extra." > > I'm still looking in my trunk for them though <G>.
