If the tab is broken you just pull the door panel off, and get a screw
with a big washer and screw it into where the tab broke off from the
backside of the panel, works fine.

Well, I was not considering making something ugly. I was thinking in terms of
trying to match the wood in the dash.
I might not be able to match the compound curves of the original but I am not

Hi Ned,
I have the WSM on CD and it shows the tank filter on the bottom with

I'm not totally versed on this subject, but I am aware of two types of seatbelt

manner. Passive tensioners work when you hit the brakes and lock preventing any
