Just wondering if there any diagrams on the driver's side seat?

I ask about this since my seat has the side black mouldings (of the lower part of seat) popped out of alignment awhile ago and it slightly sinks a bit. This exposes the metal of the seat adjustments on the lower right side. This is on my old 2001.

I just acquired a 2004 and wanted to prevent this from happening to the seat over time as well. Any suggestions?

Checked there and found nothing on the site.
Might be able to get pics done and uploaded later in the day if I have time.
Also looking for a bug and stone deflector + a rear-view attachment that allows you to see blind spots without having to shoulder-check.
 
Oh you need a Nascar one
Wide and convex
Also they sell little ones for the side mirrors

Got a diagram from a Chevy/GM dealership parts dept. today:

Talked with a mechanic in service and discovered the seat might have lost it's screws (part 13+14) and possibly replacing parts 15+25. He said it's due to age. Anyway, I know the seat backing is worn as well that I could feel the metal in areas. This is on my 2001.

This is my 2004:

I got it at an auction on Saturday, so it still has some markings on the windows.
Had it checked at a wheel-assembly/brake shop this morning, and had a wheel bearing and shaft-seal repaired. Will have to replace the rear wheel cylinders and an inner tie rod sometime soon. Also gotta have the tires from my 2001 swapped with the 2004 since they are still fairly new Nokians.

This is the rear-view mirror attachment, it went by the brand name Lanechanger:

I got a pair of side-mirror attachments, but realized the two advantages of using the lanechanger:
* Blocks out evening sun when heading towards it as it covers enough of the portion above the rear-view mirror, making a sunblocker spot.
* Not exposed to sunlight like the side mirror attachments.

Unless I can find another Lanechanger, I'm thinking of either pulling out the rear-view mirror from my 2001 and swapping it into the 2004 or find small double-sided adhesives for spots on Lanechanger.
 
Nice looking van , I like the color it won't show the dirt. Looks real clean , how many miles ? Any rust on the rockers ? Electric sliders ?

It has over 186,000km on it, which might be slightly above average. The previous owner lived in a rural town, so many of the km's are likely highway. The van has a clean exterior and interior when I got it.

Didn't notice any rust on the exterior off-hand, but did not check heavily for any spots.

Had not tested whether the sliding doors are electrical.

Nice part is that the van came with two keys. I know a few years ago when I checked into having a copy made, they were $50.00 so it's a small side-benefit.

Having a tranny and coolant flush done on Friday. Hoping this vehicle will last me a number of years to come as I went after this model year for it's stability.

Adding a grill screen before I take it on the highway. I think the radiator on my 2001 went prematurely due to possible stone/gravel puncture as I did a lot of driving at 120-130km/hr on the highway.

Having a bug deflector added to the front since this time of of year has an increased amount of bug splatter, especially at night.

The only thing I have noticed on this on most 2004 is that the radio LCD is half-faded? Is this a common defect?
