I'm am sourcing from Crutchfield and I really appreciate that link to the learning area. I will do some studying and go forward. Seems I learn everyday just how much I DON'T know. Thanks to this darn van. BTW-Repaired a floppy arm rest the other day and decided to take them all off for seat covers. After the first one, easy-schmeasy. Thanks for all the advice.
