A search of the archives for "replacement seats" finds 7 hits in
2006, (Suggesting Recaro and Subaru seats) no results for 2005, no
results for 2004 though there are 687 returns when searching for
"seats" in 2004, 544 in 2005 and 603 in 2006.

And so on.  IOW, you just lost "big bucks."  We HAVE been down this
path before.

When might we expect the money order?  Or you can send cash... The
list can always use donations. <http://gerry.vanagon.com/info/

We thank you for your support.
