It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

Easier & faster, yes, but not without it's design flaws if you still want fully functional and secure trunk space.

On the plus side for the newbie, there is usually plenty of replacement repair material in the dumpster behind the Piggly Wiggly.....just keep that duct tape handy. It also has a multitude of other uses....

OH, you beat me to the RED GREEN comment!.
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

Bod this thread is getting better then the 3 word thing. The pictures are hilarious I think the most surprising thing about all of it is that this is exactly what some folks do. I have seen loads of duct tape fixes living in Ga, but the door handle is a new one. LMAOI have two brains, one is lost and the other is out looking for it

I'll be taking a break from this for a few days as we head to Cali. My beloved bride is graduating Saturday from her doctoral program at Pepperdine and I'll be away from my wonderful photo files. See ya Tuesday.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon

Remember, if women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy..

well I decided to do another mod to gain max travel of bars past the intended travel points just for that peace of mind. 1/8 inch is to close so now I'll have 1/2" or better. I cut a 3/16" wall...
