Newbie with questions

Foxee

So glad to find this group! Years ago I had an 86 wagovan and loved it. Lately with gas prices I had started looking for another one and finally found one in my own town last Friday and snatched it up! It is a light blue and has 134,000 miles, 4 door hatchback automatic. I have several questions that I hope someone can help me with:
>
>1) the front of the glovebox is broken off and I need a new one. Where do I go to find one? Local salvage yards do not have Hondas. How do I find out if gloveboxes of OTHER model years will fit my 1988?
>
>2) Where to do for seat covers that will fit all the way around the bottom so they stay put when getting in and out.
>
>3) Other websites, places that have accessories (dash covers) and replacement parts for exterior, interior, engine, etc.
>
>4) How does one take a travel coffee mug in this vehicle, lol. Is there a gadget that will sit somewhere and hold a travel mug?
>
>Any other suggestions for upkeep, etc. I'm looking forward to advice. Thanks so much. Go, Wagovan !!

Welcome! You'll get many of those questions answered I'm sure. But, it really does involve searching for things, cause wagons are so specific, even to the year, with some things. This forum has a ton of information - it's just a matter of searching, lol. Long story - but when I got my wagon from bam-bam, he put a lil' "cupholder mod" in the car. You can prolly get it from any parts store - O'Reilly's, Advanced, Auto Zone - it's just a matter of "fabrication" I think, and getting a screw to go through the cupholder into the side of the plastic by your shifter, there should be a place with a screw, just screw the cupholder on. It really is a great "mod" lol.

Here's a crappy pic of it. You can kinda of see it.


Again, welcome! Nice to see another lady on the board.

Welcome, Karen! Congratulations on your purchase. You can browse around the site here and you'll find that most, if not all of your questions have been addressed. We have a pretty narrow niche here, so there's no bolt left unturned. I'll see if I can help you along:

1> The glovebox is specific to blue 1988 and 1989 Wagons, and I'm pretty sure it's a junkyard only find. Try Majestic Honda's website. You can plug in your car's particulars and browse for parts. Their listing is pretty good about letting you know whether a part is available- if the part shown in the drawing isn't listed below with a price it's no longer available. There are other, similar sites but that's a good one to start with.

2> I've used some covers from WallyWorld, Bell brand that I like.

3> junkyard is what I use

4> search for cupholder mod thread
