I don't like the pin being painted either. it's a dead give away that the door has been painted. It might keep lube from penetrating the little lube hole too.

Was this door a new repro door or a used door??

Also, You could take some putty and stick it by the switch and see how far off the door comes from hitting it once closed.
You might even be able to take the switch out and just lengthen it's stalk a bit once the rubber is removed.

I agree that the painted pin seemed weird to me. I may change
the pins at some point. As for whether the door is a repro or
not, I'm not sure. The previous owner had the work done , and
I'm not sure of the details. How would I tell? The door seems just
like the passenger side door with the one exception of the protrusion near the light button...

Thanks all for the suggestions about how to modify the light
switch. I'll try the putty, and if the gap is small, I'll either extend
the stalk or use a washer.
