Grandvista 250 / Mods/Alternatives/Adjustments to Rear View Mirrors?
« on: May 13, 2012, 04:47:18 AM »
I find that I am not seeing well out of my Grand Vista's rearview mirrors.  Are there any choices in the way of improving visibility in that regard?  Has anyone placed those little convex stick-on mirrors to help?  I guess the mirrors are pretty proprietary and can't be swapped with anything that would help, huh?  Maybe I'll get used to them, but they seem so small -- and low -- and dark. ???  I'm not trusting them to give me a true and accurate view of the world behind me.  Any words of wisdom, oh, great Grand Vista Gurus?

Grandvista 250 / Why won't my seat open???
« on: April 05, 2012, 09:55:46 PM »
What am I doing wrong?  I push and turn the key to the left....and....nuttin' happens.
I've opened it before and had no problems.

That keyplate thingie is a PITA, BTW.  You can barely read the lettering on it.  I'm still trying to figure out what the two position are at the farthest left.

And I presume there is not a way to manually open the seat, since, well, I guess that would negate the security feature of having a key.  Or is there?

TIA

Grandvista 250 / Touch Up Paint for 2009 Pearl White GV?
« on: April 03, 2012, 11:50:14 PM »
Anyone know where to buy this?  I'd like to have some on hand.  I know I'll need it in the future.  Actually, I hope I buy some and it rots in the container from nonuse, but...

Grandvista 250 / How to Remove Body Plastic Behind Front Wheel?
« on: April 03, 2012, 03:42:43 AM »
New owner of a white 2009 GV250 here  ;)

On the 300-mile transport home, the wheel chock on the motorcycle trailer did a number on the white body part that is just behind the front tire.  I have downloaded the Service Manual and looked at the section that talks about removing body plastic, but none of the particular instructions seem to address this part.  (Is it called the "Cowl Under"?)  I'd like to remove it, buff out the gouging a bit and spray it with some of the rattle-can RustOleum bed liner.  I used some of that to spray the fenders on an '89 Jeep YJ and it worked splendidly. 

So do you begin access under the floor mat?

TIA
