Door jamb, dashboard, registration — quick reference guide.
Driver door jamb sticker
Open the driver door and look at the pillar sticker. The 17-character VIN is listed along with build date and tire info.
Dashboard through the windshield
Stand outside on the driver side and read the VIN through the lower corner of the windshield on the dashboard.
Registration and insurance cards
Your title, registration, and insurance documents list the VIN. Match it to the vehicle before buying parts.
Why recyclers ask for it
VIN decoding confirms trim, engine, and option codes so you receive a part that actually fits — saving wasted trips and returns.
