On that note....does anyone know where I can get a new sliding door for a
1989 Vanagon. I clipped the side in a Lowell, MA parking garage. I live in
Maine, but could travel to get in NE. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Kevin

I wonder how many new Vanagon owners have managed to clip the rear fender
well area and/or bumper end-cap because of the quick turning radius and
unusual seating position of the driver.  Almost every Vanagon I have looked
at has been damaged on the curbside (passenger side)  anywhere from the
sliding door on back.

Yeah, when I bought my van, my wife wanted to drive it home from the
dealer.
it was in perfect condition.  15 minutes later, she runs it into a pole at
a
gas station.  Flattened the fender flare on the right rear.  I wish I could
have measured my blood pressure when she got it home.
