Tell me more about the sliding door screen. What year is your van? Does
anybody know what the difference is for the arrangement of the early (as in
through 83) and later sliding door is? I have access to both style interiors
to look at, if need be, but I have no idea how the screen attaches. It is an
83 I am wanting to put the screen in.
RE chattering clutch, I thought I would mention it though you've probably
done it... have you checked your motor mounts?
