Mike Stick with the manual ones. You could probably rebuild you engine in the time it would take you to switch.Remove the mirrors and see if you can tighten nuts. If not soak nuts and stems in oil. Wrap a small piece of cotton around the stems and apply a little more oil there.Now cover with plastic and reinstall on van, as this might take a month to work.I did this and after a few days, the nuts still wouldn't turn.So a couple months later a got a pair from a list member and installed them.I was just about ready to trash the old ones but for some reason I tried the nuts again and they were easy to tighten.So now I got an extra pair.Anyone need them?
