Used rear hatch molding-left side. I bought a new 3 piece set for my '93 40th Ruby Red and replaced all three pieces-two of which were broken. The last piece is in excellent condition and is original to the car.

Problem solved I used two needle nose pliers to pry the clips apart in order to fit over the strut endpiece. I found that you don't need to pry the clip completely off in order to get the strut off in the first place but just enough to allow the strut assembly to pop off the ball. The whole...

I can't figure out how to get the clips that fit over the ends of the pneumatic hatch tubes and secure them to the car back on. I used a screw driver to pry them off which you have to do in order to replace the side moldings. Is there a special tool that will spread them apart in order to fit...

Ignition key issue The dealer's(Emerling Chevrolet) parts man told me he got the VATS key code from a restricted dealer site. He told me it was a #2 key which is one of the lowest resistence level key values. I don't know myself if it is the car's correct code since I do not have access to...

Parked our 1993 40th Anniversary Ruby Red in our garage last Tuesday evening. Wednesday morning we could not find the keys: ignition, door, and gas as well as the fob. Have looked all over and no keys. Doors were locked and top off. Reached in car and pressed hatch button in center console and...
