Subject:Carat pop-out table latch info needed
From:Peter DiFalco
Date:Sun, 8 Nov 2009 15:29:26 -0800

I've never had the pleasure of sitting in any 7-passenger
carat/Wolfsburg van other than my own. So I'm having some trouble
using my imagination and the pawcity of images I found on thesamba's
gallery to figure out how the pop-out table is supposed to latch. Mine
is missing the spring-loaded washer assembly although I do have the
latch post and, thankfully, a working rotating cawl with its tiny BB
and spring.

So after some experiments with simple springs and washers, I suspect
there's more to it: a spacer or some other specialty washer must be
involved. Can anyone enlighten me, or point me to available
replacement parts? My table latches and unlatches unpredictably as it
is now.

Cheers,
Peter
