My 2000 convertible was t-boned in a parking lot, insurance is paying for repairs. The problem is that the shop and I have not been able to find a source for the factory molding on the passenger door. If I would have know the issues trying to replace the molding I would have made them take the...
Bump Steer
I am little late to the party but what you experience sounds like a condition called "bump steer". When the suspension is loaded up from the corner and then add the rough road and the car will get a little squirrly. I am not an engineer but as I understand it the geometry of the...
The Addiction
When I was about 10 or so and we went to a little country Chevrolet dealer in Iowa. The only car in the show room was a brand new Vette, it was about a '61 or '62. From that day, I said one day I would own one. A few years later, a friend of my dad offered me a ride home; it was a...
I am having a wear problem on the center console or radio bezel. There is a rubber coating on this piece and where my knee rubs against the console that material is flaking off. Is there a product that I can refresh that area? Is not a big issue but I would like to clear it up before it gets...
I Took my Convertible Through a Car Wash
Before I get jumped to doing such a dumb thing, my car was filthy and I didn't have time to really wash it. The car wash was a touchless one and as I sat there, I noticed that water was pouring in right at the point where the two pieces of weather...
Welcome
The article referred to is the best, I think it took me longer to get the control module out of the car then it did to fix it. I am sure glad I came across that article when I did because I was ready to pull the unit and send it off to be fixed. Instead, I had the thing bright and...
I Fell in Love with Vettes in Iowa
I grew up in Iowa and remember the day at a small town Chevy dealer when I saw a real live Vette for the first time. I had to wait a few years but I finally got one. Congrates on getting yours.
Thanks for This Article
I was just about ready to take my C5 to the dealer to have the HVAC controller fixed. I just happened to run across this thread. I think it took me longer to get the dash apart then it took to actually resolder the parts. Thanks to this article I now have a bright display.
What do you suggest to clean the radiator? I have been experiencing my 2000 running very hot lately and I think I need to clean the radiator; but what is the best way?
My guess would be that someone will go in and buy up all of the Corvette parts, turn around and sell them to us for twice they are today. Have you ever priced new old stock parts for a classic car? The people selling them must think the parts are made of gold. The problem will be that we will...
To connect the factory 12 disc changer you will need the cable that runs from the back of the radio to the trunk area. The changer is mounted in the center compartment, I believe. The cable alone is around $175 if I remember right. The changer is around $775 and if you want a couple of extra CD...
Welcome to CAC. I sounds like you have already found that this site has a wealth of information. Congratulations on your first Vette, a friend had an '82 and it was nice car. Enjoy yours and don't forget to wave.
Great looking car, welcome to CAC. Let me first to tell you that the smile plastered on your face every time you drive your Vette doesn't come off your face. I've had mine for about 2 years and I still get that smile when I drove her. ENJOY!:upthumbs
