ARTIE 1 My suspicion was right about the driver door handle... it is broken and
so are every one of the ones in the junk yard...lol... that must be a common thing
for the driver door... I can find several passenger side ones.. lol but the driver side
are all brokes. its really a bad design ....
If I had the pieces that were actually broken off on mine I would try to repair it
with some epoxy. I may look into that anyways.. maybe I can use a washer...????
I just cant justify spending 30.oo on that part I have several top pieces I planned
on covering it with some material to maybe a foam piece under for my arm to rest on
rather than that hard plastic.

So here is my attempt to repair the arm rest bracket....
once it cures I will install it tomorrow.

Is this the cover or the pull handle(the structure)?

STAN a while back we talked about another seat in the van,,,, and I told you I didnt think I was going to add
another seat.. well ... lol
After finding this one today... I have changed my mind.
its a small seat... ( like BRAND NEW )... actually all the seats in that van
Are like Brand New... I was thinking about this small on right behind the drivers side seat..
I dont think I can get any smaller unless I just put 1 seat in .. lol...

That piece is only $24.10. Just sayin'.

So, what are those seats in? Are they factory, and can that seat cover company do those as well? But the other thing I'd point out is that whoever gets stuck sitting there won't be able to see out. I've been in that situation, and I hated it.

I definatly fixed my part... its Strong.. hell stronger than factory. Lol... remember... my van is a cargo not made to see out.. lol. But if its 1 person sitting there they can see out the front windshield.
The seats are in a Holiday Inn van express van. 3 rows of seats All In like Brand new condition....
The 1 i want is the smallest just for that 1 time that 1 extra person wants to ride along...
Good question.... i dont see why that company couldnt do a cover..... after i get the seat i will see if the can make me a cover....

StanVan

Knowing where the seat came from (manufacturer) is key. It doesn't look like it's GM. Look for a name of who did the conversion.

Teammuir1

Will do Stan.. and I think your right they are not Factory..
they dont have the factory locking plate in the floor
thats one thing I noticed.. but I am find with that as long
as its does what I want it to do.. lol
