Replying to: sig88 (Apr 16, 2007 5:01 pm) Are you referring to the side cargo doors? If so, take a small screwdriver or large nail or bolt and put it through the latch opening. Make sure the doors are unlocked and have someone pull the handle and pull out with the screwdriver. If you need a picture, I can provide one. This should release the latch.

Replying to: ealvarez (Jul 04, 2007 3:59 pm) go to www.1010tires.com, go to "TECH". Under Tech, you'll be able to fing anithing you wanna know about wheels & tires. In this case, you go to "Tire Size Calculator", enter your stock tire size, then enter whatever size you gonna be changing, then hit "Compare Tire Sizes". It will tell you whether the size too big or too small ...and There you go ... You can also play around with "Options" to see the different in width of the tires. Have fun !!!
#560 of 618 grille guard on Express by adis8066 Jul 10, 2007 (6:15 pm)
Has anyone ever seen a Chevy Express with a grille guard on it?? I'd like to have one installed on my Express. Is it Wierd?? The reason i asked was someone keep either back-in or hit my front bumper where the license plate is in parking lot. I claimed insurance once, & i don't wanna claim the second time, or they may think i'm cheating on them !! Replies to this message: jodyz (Jul 15, 2008 2:23 pm)
#561 of 618 Swapping bench seats. Possible? by eandlcubed Aug 05, 2007 (8:35 am)
I am torn between buying the Express and the Sprinter. I like the Express because it is alot cheaper and I like the Sprinter because all its seats have shoulder belts. I went and look at an '07 Express and notice that the second bench actually has shoulder belt for its middle passenger. However the third bench looks exactly like the second bench but it only has a lapbelt for its middle passenger. So I ask the salesman if I could get another second bench and swap out the third bench. He does not seem to know the answer but said "why not."   I figure you guys/gals here are the best people to ask ... So can it be done (i.e. same track ect)?   Thanks a bunch!

#563 of 618 got an express by eandlcubed Aug 11, 2007 (10:43 am)
Well, I went ahead and bought a used '07 Express over a Sprinter because it costs 12k less. Can't fight the math .   Anyway, does anyone here know if the emblems in the rear and on the front door have position holes behind them. I would like to remove them but don't want to expose any holes in the van.   oh, to answer my own question regarding the swapping of bench seats...it seems the second and third row benches are similar in track length so maybe they are switchable.

Replying to: eandlcubed (Aug 11, 2007 10:43 am) As far as i know, all emblems around the vehicle are using very strong double sided tape instead of pin mounted like the old days. It is not easy to remove them, you should heat it up using a heat gun (not hair blower) to solften the adhesive at the back of the emblem, then peel it off gradually. Most of the time, it will left behind the residue on the vehicle, you can use glue remover to remove it. Body shop has a set of tool just for removing emblems before sanding the body of vehicles. For removing the glue residue, they're using a rubber wheel (they claimed it is made of air craft tire's rubber) attach to power drill, & spin the wheel against the glue area until it is cleaned; it won't damage or scratch the surface. You can buy these tools at your local body shop supplier.
