Re-time wipers?
JackGrimshaw replied to BSJBSJ's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lights, Mirrors, Window Tint & Wipers
First thing I would check is are they loose on the posts or are the arms or posts stripped. Do you have to pull one off to reset? -

How Do You Mount a Hand Truck or Dolly?
JackGrimshaw replied to Yong's topic in Accessories and Modifications
I think a front mount on a TC would be a Motor Vehicle Dept "pull-me-over".Obstruction of view and unsecured load(no frame in front to attach mounting bracket). I use my handtruck for 200-300 lbs and currently carry it inside the back unless I'm using my trailer. Sometimes I will place it parallel to the seats through a side door but very awkward. I've considered a hitch mount but unless you use it for every stop it would be an obstacle. Folding would be great for light but awkward packages. Looking forward to other replies. -
Door sensors are on all vehicles and TC owners are very small subset. I suggest you search a wider audience to get a better understanding of how to troubleshoot any door sensor. I'm sure the technology is pretty standard across all vehicles.

Windguy Thanks for the thoughtful reply.

Thanks Windguy. I remember reading that post a few years ago.My problem is not seat height but the firmness of the bottom portion,especially the edges. On longer trips I seem to end up in the same position with pressure on the same spots. I had forgotten about the differences between models. Maybe I'll search for some seats from a Titanium. Only issue would be lack of power for power adjustible seat. This site doesn't seem to be as busy as it once was. Members as well as TCs aging out?

JackGrimshaw started following Uncomfortable passenger seat
-
Just discovered this site is back up.I had given up and stopped checking. I still have my 2016 LWB and my wife is still complaining about the uncomfortable passenger seat.We both find the seats too narrow and they seem to force one into same position on a long trip. I have solved my side with a folded bath mat that adds a little cushion but it still is uncomfortable after a few hrs(most likely due to a steel rod in my right femur that was inserted through the right butt cheek) My wife is a little wider the me and has had a hip replacement. Just wondering if anyone has found a junkyard replacement that bolts in with little to no modification.

convert a wagon to a cargo van?
JackGrimshaw replied to Mark G's topic in Transit Connect Member Custom Builds
I assume that, besides any window openings,the basic body structure is the same in both the cargo and passenger versions. In my cargo,I have relocated 2 of D rings(from the floor mounts) up to the rear seat belt bolt holes. There are multiple threaded holes throught the structure and most likely exist in the passenger version also but covered by the floor mats and trim. In my 2016 LWB,the false floor was bolted in but later models may be different. -

Contractor configurations - Best way to sneak in 1-2 sheets of 4x8 sheet goods?

Just a guess,maybe 250 lbs and I would not recommend it. The rack and the roof handled it fine but the van felt top heavy. I regularly carry a good sized Yakima pod while camping,occasionally a 17 ft canoe,framing lumber and sheet goods (with a support frame) and ladders. The biggest problem is the noise.

Sarah,what is that triangular piece on the roof just above the drivers window? Is it a fairing?

In my 2016,I have used it to play music stored on my tablet and directions from Google Maps

My father in law was from northern Maine, Everyone up there had a beater to drive in the winter. Actually,vehicles are alot better than when I had my first car.Plastic inner fenders and plastic panels under the engine compartment help alot but most of my vehicles still die from rot.
