After 3 years of not working at all, my rear washer finally puked out a bit of water on 1 side but nothing on the other. I'll be trying this tomorrow. (if I remember)

Post a pic and I'll compare it to my 16. Which has 4 attachment points per side. I put a roof rack on it this fall. That said, it wouldn't take anything to drill where you need. Only the very front attachment which is under the headliner is not easy to reach. The middle and back are easily accessible from the inside. (CARGO van, not wagen) You've seen the little plastic plug that covers those points now. Pry it out to see the size hole and drill them where you need to. Put plug back in.

OOps, you're talking about doing the deflation to reset. My bad.

Nope. Non issue. Can now retrieve items that fall down between the seat and console AND easily vacuum under the seat. lot of storage there now too. It doesn't raise the seat height any higher than the adjuster does. It just lets you back it down the seat height adjuster range a bunch. It's such a cheap and easy (10 minutes) no brainer I got them for the passenger seat. That is rarely used. LOL

I just had to take the air cleaner assembly out to change my battery and found what looked to be a tranny fill port with a small black plastic lid that had dipstick markings and a note "engine must be running". I thought tranny, but no????? Power steering? 2016 2.5

Yes they do.

Really happy with this. One of the best, easiest and cheapest things to get a really nice improvement to your ride. With the 2" blocks there's still well over a foot between the roof and the top of my head (5'10") and I'm in the lower 1/2 of the seat height adjustment where I was close to the top before. Much nicer and more comfortable. I don't feel like I'm sitting in a convertible Camaro (you want to feel like you're in a tub!) anymore!

The cargo vans come with a flat piece of steel covering that area. Some guys take that off to ADD seats to a cargo van. Find one of those take-offs.

Surprised it isnt used on the wagen. my very basic van has it in that back plastic side panel.

Yes its possible and been done here by some. Search for same. ' If you pull up the side plastic trim inside the sliding door (either one) you can see that the footwells (and carpet) like the wagen are there and there is a flat piece that is bolted over that to make the flat floor of the van. Few bolts to remove that (apparently, I've not done it).

Years ago I worked a night shift rate job where you could get done early if you were fast enough. We then would sleep for an hour or two on the skinny little benches used in all locker rooms using a couple of layers of carboard that sat on the bench and extended past it a foot or two on each side. You couldn't roll over on it of course but it would easily support arms and even a leg hanging off the bench part way with your body weight holding it down. In this case 24" is wide enough to support a light piece of wood or other material at least 36" but only sticking out 6" past the rack. Or just extend on one side and have legs under that. ?? Tons of ideas out there, look about.

thanks

yes it does no more rental look. (mine too)

You can lube cables and it often helps, but don't use WD40. It's "WaterDisplacement" and was made for spraying metal parts to prevent them from rusting while being shipped by boat exposed to salt air. Is lubes properties aren't that great and it attracts and holds dirt and debris. Its' not sprayed on them but sprayed into the connectors so it runs down the outer housing that surrounds the cables and lubes them. (This is in general, have no idea if it makes a difference in this situation.)

Uh oh, facts. That could be a problem here.

Hmmm, I think the jack pushing UP on the bolts WITH the hitch as opposed to tongue weight pulling DOWN on the hitch and bolts would be the significant difference.

From my reading you just need a wire windshield cutter that they conveniently sell for $20, Does say it's a PITA but doable with the wire cutter.

They're very light (hollow tubing) and would work just fine. Very strong, we put 500+lbs all the time. But 24" is not very wide to sleep on. Seems like you could be creative and do things other than the standard bed/couch if you got 2 - 24" x 36" Could put them together to make the bed up as needed, if you didnt' want a bed/couch space hog all the time.

Thank you!

Had my interior panels off for running wires for tow hitch install and decided to try the sound deadener peel and stick panels talked about here and everywhere. Got the back and roof done but I can't figure out how to get the front door panels off. ?????

They sell everything you need including a wire cutting tool to cut the old adhesive on the panel. You still have to cut out the inner part of the steel where the window goes. The glass will cover the whole area but some will be over remaining metal on the door all around. That's where the adhesive goes. My tools and supplies from Van direct arrive today, but no window. ?

LOL< well you do what you do and i'll do what i do.

Many LED headlights are no improvement. Some are worse than stockers in my experience. Most arent' really worth the trouble, if there is a slight big more light it's usually a slight bit less light somewhere else.. Most don't aim properly and so throw too much light too high or too low. (LED bulbs without a proper (not oem generally) reflector aren't good. Do ANY after market LED bulbs have the federally mandated cut off so yoiu dont' blind oncoming traffic. In my town most seem to not LED headlights are designed specifically for that bulb design. Just general info not tc specific. so sorry if contradicted by other posts that are tc specific. didnt' read whole thread one other sometimes significant factor is sometimes you don't' much if any light low and out to the side. Leaves the side of the road very dark. Stock lights are supposed to light up very specifc areas to a minimum federal standard. LED have no such standards (maybe stockers?) and typically under light one or more of those areas. But certainly new and better stuff coming out all the time and I haven't touched anything new in a year.

My 16 rear defroster never worked. my 16 xlt has no mirror heaters but no defrost icons so i would guess you do. I'm thinking I read it was tied to the rear switch. Could be a blown fuse too since it heats it's a decent draw.
