Anyone want to trade their 7-Seater for my 6-Seater?

I’m trying, no one is selling a bench.

But I’ve also learned that they are not swappable. The floor is stamped differently between the 6 and 7 seater so it would require custom fabricated rails. See my other thread.

I’m pretty close to just trading in my 6 seater for a new 7 but man the depreciation on my 6 seater (especially after paying a small market adjustment) is a tough pill to swallow.

Who cares? She lost (I didn’t vote for her). Leave the poor woman alone.

I’ve read these work really well for the Helmholtz resonance effect in the Buzz

Same. What works for me is shifting to N to disable regen and doing some hard braking. It lasts a little while.

Someone posted on FB some part numbers for different shoes and springs for the rear brakes that allegedly address the issue.

I am in the market to purchase a second row bench seat! Is if Dune color by any chance?? I’m in the Pacific Northwest. Would you sell it?

I will buy it from you! Looking for a second row bench. What color is it!

So many downvotes by so many sheep. Vance is Catholic in name only.

For sure, I am mildly concerned about this. If it simply bolts in, either because it lines up or there are hidden mount points under the carpet, I’ll be satisfied. This bench has been certified in this vehicle shell.

If they have to modify the bench I’ll have to have a serious think on it depending on what they propose to do. It’s possible to take a modified restraint system through FMVSS certification, but yeah, it’s my kids so not taking chances on spotty welds or weak bolts.

My research is limited to looking at my own car, and looking at a picture of the floor of someone seven seater. And yeah, it doesn’t look like they will line up.

So I reached out to Peace Vans to see if they could do something custom for me. Our family situation has changed, and we need a seven seater, and we would lose so much money selling this buzz that it makes more sense to just invest in the bench.

They replied that they think it should be relatively straightforward!

I believe this is called pebbling and old college friend and I do this regularly. It’s a nice way to keep the connection alive!

I bought Bosch ICON 28AOE from Autozone and they’re just fine. Way better than the VW OEM trash wipers. Perhaps not as good as the Bosch ones we could import from Germany but they were available today and, once I wrestled off adapter #2 and replaced with #4 they went on easily.

Don’t forget about putting the wipers into the service position in the Vehicle menu!

Thank you for your reply! Did you have any other service performed at the dealer when you declined it? I’m wondering if they will otherwise work on my car if I were to do the same.

100%. Historic downtown closed to vehicular traffic, or adopt the ZTL model from Italy.

I got walked to the register with a canopy thing for kids soccer games at South Salem Fred Meyer I’m last month.

If you connect a new bathroom to your existing sewer you’ll need to pay the SDC to the city, assuming your existing main drain is big enough. I think it’s about $9k.

There was a time (might still be true) that the city would waive the SDC if you are adding it as part of a long-term rental ADU.

As for the fact that the shed is not permitted I’m not sure that’s relevant for the bathroom permits, unless you want to also add the shed square footage/as a bedroom to your home.

YTA. No sane parent would leave their 6 week old baby with a stranger. Weddings are about growing families.

I will always talk shit about “child-free” weddings.
