Now my wife and I have one less thing to think about and just have fun. You don't have to give me a good idea more than once at my age. The people on this forum will save you a heck of a lot of money, a heck of a lot of time, a pile of grief, but you may skin a knuckle or two. Just sayin. They are full of great practical ideas and "have already done the jobs themselves". No theory here. Next I am changing the passenger seat to an 8 way power as described on the formum. I searched for the needed parts, as described, I bought what was recommended and I have printed out the instructions to follow meticulously. The forum if treated with respect, will not let you down.
Well said, there was a lot of knowledge available here when I signed in, some of the info was incorrect and some of the answers are laughable now. Over the years the correct answers have been found and recorded here but you still have to be wary of the odd fly in the ointment.
