For my situation, being a four door instead of a two door that doesn't apply. From what I did learn the inner door mechanism did change on the 1980 and up models. The 1978-79 Omni & Horizons were pretty odd anyway and had alot of 1970's style parts that weren't used on the 1980's models like a hard plastic steering wheel, a different grille & tail lights, instrument cluster, upper door panels, dashboard, fender mounted turn signal indicators, etc. >> Another possible fix might be to switch doors from a later >> model.

That was a consideration, but overall the white paint still looks amazingly good and the door is rust free (unlike most of the salvage yard ones). I figure sooner or later someone will see a 1978-79 in a yard that I can use the parts from. Plus the Omni doors are kind of a pain to change anyway since the hinges are welded on and who knows if they didn't change where those pieces lines up.
