Mystery Hole

[Steve McMahan]

Anyone know the purpose of this hole on the door pillar? There’s one on each side. I suspect the hole on the passenger’s side is for the antenna. Drivers side?

Correct, the passenger side is the antenna cable port. The driver side on my Mach has this factory installed rubber plug.

Interesting, I assume the hole in the driver side is for right drive models with the antenna on the other fender?

Don't know for sure. Good question though.

Anyone of our Euro zone folks want to respond?

My car had rubber plugs in both sides in those holes and there is a smaller hole that the antenna cable went through. The grommet on the cable is the same size as the smaller hole facing forward.
My car had a third much smaller hole that had nothing in it when I bought it. I am not sure what that is for, I think it might be something the PO just drilled for some reason.

I wonder if it was an indexing hole for the welding jigs on the line? They look reason I as asking, in part, is because, while it’s difficult to see in the pic, the hole on the drivers side looks like it was deformed by something; it’s no longer round. I’ve got the rubber plug set from NPD on my list, so hopefully both holes will be plugged in the future.
