Buy a new one...why take chances on a used one, especially an old one from a junkyard. Also, please pester Jim Adney about getting hot on his electric regulator. I've seen 'em for other manufacturers but none for ours. >Second question, How do I get my rear defrost working? What are the >common problems? I think I should start trouble shooting this since it >is winter and my window is now fogging... :-) Check the relay under the back seat, should be mounted on the kick board. Make sure electrical connections are clean and grounds are good. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!

It was tooooooo low! Ride became harsh and even small speed bumps became a problem. From my personal experience I would not recommend this tire on a lowered T3 that is used as a daily driver. I scraped my tow eye a lot so much during a one week period that I went back to 60's. 55's may be a happy medium but at the time they were quite expensive.
