I concur with the poster who suggested to not use supports. Back when I first started on this list in the early 90's as a first time Vanagon owner they seemed like a good idea since the only place to get one was the dealer and they were really expensive. If you could find one in a junkyard it was guaranteed not to work. Now that Ron has them for $19 I see no reason why anyone would want the extra trouble of using a support. Also, it was recommended a few years ago to buy 2 lefts or rights (I can't remember which off-hand) but one of them is the one that does the work. Having 2 of the same kind really helps keep that door up under all circumstances and even under the coldest temperatures. Bryan |
