i mentioned this a while ago, but im sure there are some of you who have since then added the fiberglass sideskirts to your vans - did you know you have to use the jack that came w/ the vans that had the fiberglass sideskirts? because the stock jack for vans without sideskirts will not fit thru those little holes in the fiberglass sideskirts.. if you try to jack your van up, you will crush either your jack point, or your fiberglass sideskirts.. ask me, i found out the hard way.. anyway, i actually have one of these special jacks for sale that came on the '88 up carat/wolfsburg and '90-91 GL. it has a longer round part of the arm that sticks into the jack hole so it wont damage the fiberglass. if you need one let me know.. these are hard to find $45 takes it. nice shape. this jack is No Longer Available new from the dealer by the way.. chris |
