Subject:plastic parts to hold-in and adjust headlights are crumbling
Date:Fri, 2 Nov 2001 08:40:50 -0500

Ah, the joys of old cars ..

Nearly all the platic parts that hold in and adjust the headlights are
crumbling on my '86.  ETKA shows all the part #s (see below).  Was wondering
if there was another source other than the dealer - checked Bus Depot's part
# lookup and it has none of them.  It's also hard to tell if the part #
refers to the plastic bit *and* the screw, or just the screw.

Anyone else has headlights that are falling out?  Better check!

cheers - Frank
