    Non-Reatta question

    in Buick Reatta

    Posted

    Hi Barney

    You sold the wheels with out any warrantee what so ever

    now that being said, you were selling the wheels and not

    the freight. the freight is the cost of purchasing an item

    off the web or in the mail. unless the cost of transportation was part of

    the deal and you are willing to refund the cost of the wheels to your customer

    he would be resposible for the return freight also. you are not in the freight

    business. question, if you got a book from the book of the month club and you wanted to return it who pays the postage or freight. the transportation charges are just a cost of doing business. i would return his money for the wheels, but thats just me, but the cost of the freight, no way. if you refund the wheels wait to send the money until you have the wheels back. this is a case of the buyer not knowing what he is doing. but we have to be kind to the less smart in our midst.

    just my 2 cents worth

    need to locate a seat part

    in Buick Reatta

    Posted

    i need any ones help in locating a part for my seats

    my interior is blue 16 way seats but the part i am looking

    for is a hard plastic part that goes on the back all the way

    on the bottom it is really a cover for the bottom of the seats.

    it is about 2.5 inches in width and as long as the back of the seat,

    and it is held in place by two screws. the same part is on both seats

    so side doesnt matter. any help in would be appreciated you can post here

    or contact me at igor@wichitausa.com thanks

    i also have a pair of seats from a red and tan car for sale these seats

    came from a donated car and are like new they are 16 way. there are no tears

    and are in great shape. i rescued them from a car that was going to the crusher

    and i didnt want them destroyed. i can furnish photos if there is any interest

    the vin on the car was 1g4ec11c2jb900122 on an 88 model

    barney regarding sizes

    i have taken measurements and here is what i found

    the 1989 reatta had a fold over owners manual cover

    approx 9"x5 1/2 black leather top fold with the owners

    manusal being 8 1/2 x 5 1/4 with the fold to the left side.

    the gm maintenance schedule for passenger cars was appx

    7 3/4 x 5 1/4 in 1989 and in 1990 the maintenance schedule book

    was 7 1/2 x 5 which is the same size as the hole in the middle of

    the zippered case that was available for 1990 and 1991. with those

    numbers, the 89 or maybe the 88 would not fit in the zippered case

    which would mean that the owners manuals were 2 different sizes or

    the 89 was not meant to be in the zippered case. maybe you could find out the

    rest of the story from buick when you go to flint. i hope that this makes

    sense..thanks

    barney does that mean that there are 2 sizes of owners manuals

    also. the manual for the zippered would have to be smaller to fit in

    area below the flap that had the signatures on it, my owners manual would not

    come close to fitting in the area provided in the zippered case what do you think. ????????

    there is not much information available about the flashlight,

    tire guage and the pen. were all three of these items part of the car

    from the beginning or was the tire guage and flashlight only available on the convertible, there dont seem to be many around. who out there knows??? the pen came with my 89 so i know that part is right. there also seems to be a difference in the owners manual covers, mine is the fold over kind with the pen and others have the zippered case again what year did all this take place.

    thanks but everyone needs useless information that could be important in the future

    i had the same problem and my lights would only come on

    when i pressed the fog light switch. i pulled the light

    switch on the left side of the dash and i had shorted wires

    where they had rubbed togather, so i taped them off and took the

    switch apart which is a simple job, cleaned up all of the contacts and

    presto no more problems. now they all light including the lights on the console
