Forgive my ignorance but what are "inner wings"? And the MKI pass-it would 
be what we call a Dasher, correct?

There seems to be some confusion here. Doug, werent you saying that only the 
European 'Rocco's have manual adjust or did I misunderstand?

I recently completed a G60 to VR6 engine/drivetrain conversion on a Corrado 
and had to use a pass-it harness. The stealership who promised us the direct 
conversion parts didnt have the parts after we payed them so I had to use 
about 3 pass-it harnesses to make the car work correctly.
