I would love to get away from the glued cloth and get something all vinyl/plastic...no drooping!

Some people like the third brake light (neon) on the rear window of the Envoys also.

Yes, I unplugged mine. Really didnt see a difference for me.

Not sure about the mirrors... just know they are heated.

Speaking of the Diamond Edition, I have one locally being parted. The front driver seat is trashed though. The door panels are already gone too. It has the optional HID lights but the ballast ignitors are broken. The neon brake light is still there though.

N. Jensen, this Envoy is black. How big of a pain is it to pull those pieces you need?

It's a pretty big PITA. There are like 7 or 8 bolts/screws holding each one in, and of course 20 years later, they are going to be rusty.

I saw a Diamond Edition for sale, just north west of Iowa City. Waiting for the right one, for the right price. Lol

I have one of those auto dimming rear views, btw... Works great!

Came up with a couple more. Second generation long 5 speed consoles and front lockers for the IFS differential.

blazen_red_4x4 will become famous soon enough

Now that I have my Diamond Edition interior, I just wish the seats were heated...

They're out there. They'd be easier to find than the seats. Mr. Jensen would probably have better luck than me locating them, there's a bigger selection in his neck of the woods. I'll keep my eyes peeled though. I assume you want 4 door and electric?
