| As you can see in the form this is the 5th time i have to replace these door supports the first was 3/6/96 @ 16489 miles the next was 7/29/96 @ 25123 miles then on 6/13/97 @39588 miles once again on 3/22/99 @ 73465 miles(this time it cost me $98.65 the previous times were under warrenty) and now they went out again. each time they go out they do so with very little warning and have narrowly missed striking ether my wife or myself in the head with the unsuported door. the repacement parts are only available at the dealer because they have a switch on the shaft of the suports that activate the dome lights and the locking silonoid for the bottom 2 swing doors. i also have a friend with a chevy astro van (same van different name) with simular problems his name is craig herric 14325 lanning whittier ca 90604 home phone 562-696-9791. *ak | |||
