Subject:GOT FIBERGLASS BODYKIT? GOT THE RIGHT JACK? 'glass jack FS
Date:Mon, 22 Sep 2003 00:37:07 EDT

i mentioned this a while ago, but im sure there are some of you who have
since then added the fiberglass sideskirts to your vans - did you know you have to
use the jack that came w/ the vans that had the fiberglass sideskirts?
because the stock jack for vans without sideskirts will not fit thru those little
holes in the fiberglass sideskirts.. if you try to jack your van up, you will
crush either your jack point, or your fiberglass sideskirts..  ask me, i found
out the hard way..  anyway,  i actually have one of these special jacks for
sale that came on the '88 up carat/wolfsburg and '90-91 GL.  it has a longer
round part of the arm that sticks into the jack hole so it wont damage the
fiberglass.    if you need one let me know.. these are hard to find $45 takes it.
nice shape.  this jack is No Longer Available new from the dealer by the way..
