    On the VC Label, is the 12B/128 beneath INT. TRIM or is the 12 beneath A/C and the 8 beneath R?

    Does the car have...

    light in glovebox, front ashtray, and underhood?
    interval windshield wipers?
    "Sport" seats?
    AM, AM/FM stereo, AM/FM stereo w/ cassette, or radio delete?
    premium sound system ("AMP PULL" knob under dash)?
    turbine wheel covers or cast aluminum metric (TRX) wheels?
    front license plate bracket?

    Well it's not staying the way I put it in when I post it?? The dividing line between int trim and R is above the 1 and the dividing line between R and S is above the 8 or B. If that makes since

    Kinda. If the numbers were moved down.Maybe it will stay the way I typed it?

    | R| S | AX | TR
    128 D Z 2SS

    Well, I can tell you the D belongs under S, the Z belongs under AX, and the 2SS__ belongs under TR. There is only supposed to be one number under R, so I'm trying to figure out if it's the 2 or the 8 (1 is not a valid radio code). And 1 or 2 could be under A/C (which is between INT. TRIM and R). There should be an _A under INT. TRIM but no numbers.

    VIN
    1ME = USA, Mercury
    B = manual seatbelts, no airbags
