Admittedly I have tried this on only one vehicle ('91 GL), but I believe that the picture in the Bentley is wishful thinking. Maybe it worked when the vans were just off the assembly line. Have you actually done it? After the usual ordinary and extraordinary measures I have only moved it a small amount. I believe that I have seen posts by other list members reporting the same problem.
