    somethings are hard to find.

    swp mirrors aren't the same as sw1 mirrors for example.

    I need front seat covers, front carpet, shades, and headliner.

    Of course you asked for OEM 'type'

    I've had some good experience ordering remanufactured parts through
    AutoZone.
    For new OEM, any GM dealer has access to Saturn parts while they last.
    Non-cancelable, non-returnable...

    As I understand, it's a Station Wagon, Postal.

    Basically, it's an SW, but with right-hand drive.

    The Mirrors are different because the right side needs to be flat and
    the left side convex.

    From an old thread they are/were used for postal delivery. Right Hand Drive
    was important for that.

    I wonder who was doing the service for the postal service? Perhaps they have
    spare inventory...

    As someone with experience in the postal service, I can tell you that
    the usps never actually had any SWP's in their fleet.
    The cars were sold to "rural carriers" who provide their own vehicle
    for their routes.

    This is true. Florence, SC was one of the areas where the SL Wagons were of
    use by USPS mail carriers.
    I just have never heard them referred to as SWP's before. You learn
    something new every day :)

    Hi,

    my problem is I've got an SWP... a right hand drive sw1 and some things
    are 'different'...like mirrors... or the driver's (right hand) seat... a
    nice seat but not sold for other US models...the upholstery is a non
    standard color too... they were basically US engined sw1's with japanese
    model interiors/mirrors.

    they made 450 in 1999 and a "similar number" in 2000.

    I'm looking for seat covers carpets etc... and that color isn't in other
    US spec saturn cars.

    a right hand drive sw1 made in 1999 and 2000... less than 1000 total
    made... us spec car with japanese interior and mirrors.

    interior is a different color/pattern (my biggest problem now)

    US mirrors don't fit either (so I glued my right hand mirror glass back
    in... I wanted to replace it with US glass so I could have wide angle
    mirrors on both sides)

    and they're shorter too by about 2 inches...so the glass won't fit
    regardless.

    nobody... they weren't sold to the USPS... they were intended for rural
    route carriers who use their own cars.

    I have been an LBC (Little British Car) restorer hobbyist since 1973
    which was just before the catalogs for parts came out so I had to
    fabricate my metal parts. Today I also restore VW's besides on lone
    catalogs I have dozens of mail order catalogs as well as numbers in
    the back of magazines for parts.

    Why aren't there any company's with these catalogs now for our
    Saturn's?
