Upside down door lock

Does anyone else have this? On my 86 SC, the lock on my driver's door is situated so that I have to insert the key w/ the teeth facing up. The passenger door and the hatch operate with the teeth facing down

lmao

don't worry about it , it simply means that someone had to replace the locks and put one in upside down , it happens , I've done it on my car too (then fixed it later).

no big deal , but definitely not stock

yeah, no need to sweat it, if it bugs you, take off the door pannel, remove the clip holding it and the rod that attaches to the arm on the lock cylinder and rotate it 180°and put it back together
