First, I haven't looked at the catalogs, but if they list the MK IV
lockset, it will fit the 1500 as well.
Second, Tony, the door key and the trunk key on the MK IV and 1500
models were of a completly different style. I doubt the even the best
locksmith could rekey the trunk lock to match the doors. ;)
