 the people on the rear bench catch a lot of wind when driving at highway
 speeds.  The sunroof seals always need replacing (over time), they get hard
 and brittle in the sun but I'm sure this varies with environmental
 conditions.  I am in the process of installing a used CARAT interior in my
 Syncro; rear facing jumpseats, wall panel with the integrated table and the
 narrower bench seat.  I will give a full report to the list when the
 conversion is complete.
