Ah-Ha.  Thanks Eric.  Now I get it.  Hope he opens it up to the list.  We're not all Facebook users, nor do we want to be.  It can be a not so nice place.  I'm having enough trouble trying to keep up with e-mail without adding that also.

Hi Dave,


        Yes, you missed a important part of the discussion.  I mentioned that Ben is starting a rear hatch opener exchange program. 


 I can’t keep up with the progress as it is done mostly on his Van Cafe facebook group.  I really just can’t give Facebook my time as it is difficult to use blind.  And every post seems to refer to a picture.


So the idea is you get the modified latch and send back yours.  Yours is then modified for another person and the process continues.  


I’m hoping to be early on the exchange list.


Best,


Eric
