A rather aggravating thing, does this happen on your car? When I activate the wipers to clean the 'shield, the fluid does not cover the drivers side fully, the passenger side is okay. So I end up with the Drivers side window half clean and streaky. What can I do to get the fluid out better?

Interior Thanks for your response, but I do own the car (for at least 8 years) and the interior is OAK. I was very fortunate to find one. I noticed on Past Ebay sales that an upper Oak console was sold. I called the seller and asked if he still had the lower, arm rest console part and he...

My Center Console is breaking apart on my '03 with OAK Interior. I need part number 88892563 which is the center console below the padded arm rest. Lots of black ones out there, will settle for a shale-- easier to paint if need be but... Would really like to find an Oak replacement. I...

My trim is going to waste-land in the car. First, the visor mirrors went capooee and now the electric switch for the fuel door is gone..... It appears I will need to order a new console, the eyelits that held the switch, 3 of 4 have failed. Where to buy? Went to add some windshield washer...

I have noticed that cranking is a bit slower... or I just don't drive the car as much, anyway, the battery is stock and I bought an 85 month MTP 75 and in reading the Mechanic Manuals, it reads I should be careful with the SID system. What I can tell this is the air bag stuff... I know I have...

I took the Corvette in for a detail service, I usually do the work myself, am I getting lazier or feeble? Another topic another day but.... Some time after this I popped the hood and noticed the fuel line clip was OFF!! just at the firewall. Question: why did the fuel line stay on? Does it...

Thanks for Commenting Everyone I ended up just installing the NRF and it is noticeably quieter, haven't had the opportunity to determine if traction/riding is different yet. While I had the tires off, I asked for the rebuild kits for the tire sensors, 8 dollars each. The tire place charged...

heck! I've searched the search and found no info on this topic. My Corvette has just a bit over 26k miles on it with mostly freeway traveling. Well, you know those two times of day with sunlight about directly through the windshield? I really, really see a lot of pits, what gives? My...

More on tires which way but loose? Thanks for responding guys! It seems to have been operator error. I thought I ordered run flats but got 4 Season Tires instead. Not a problem, I can turn them back in and order EMT's But Is the extra money all that necessary? I never had a flat in 27k...

I purchased identical tires for my '03. However I do not see the EMT words on the sidewalls. (Extended Mileage Tires) Now reads carbon fiber. I looked at the Goodyear brochure and it only reads that the front tires are runflats. It has a yellow triangular symbol and no symbol for rear...

Visor "Pins" The visor/mirror part on my Vette was always questionable from day one. The Assy came down the other day and it appears the "Pins" broke off inside the visor on one side and on the other, just poped out. The are plastic about the size of pencil lead. The Visors are now $125.00...

Long Tube Headers do they interfere with the smog controls? Are they an improvement over stock? with aftermarket exhaust and improved intake?

Was that ever muddy! I'd rather not but once I got caught coming home from a Niner game on US 101 by some farm fields. It absolutely covered the car in heavy dirt along with the underside. It was so clean before then. As I was washing it, I had to continually clean the washing mit -- all...

I opened the hood the other day to check the ingredients and I noticed that the aluminum engine doodads are fading. Any suggestions to bring back the luster? I seem to remember Baking Soda as a good cleaner.

Reminds me of... the Great BMW 259 4 stoke two cylinder air/oil cooled motor. "They all do that, it's normal" Said the repair dept Manager. What the problem was the motor was so lean it couldn't hold a steady slow speed idle. I installed a device that delivered more fuel at slow speeds...

Same thing happens with my car, it now has 17k on it with the original battery, good point above: Perhaps some electrical item is affecting the lights, wonder what it is.

Dim in Lights Did a search and came up with this topic. Mine has started doing this on low beam with no apparent connection to anything, just dims and then normal. Have 17k on car, has original battery, the volt meter in DIC seems normal also.

Looks bad.... What did the cover look like? Did it give you any idea there was this much damage (under the cover)? The accident startled me and sounded quite loud but you know there's not much insulation/sound deadening stuff back there and I believe it was a very slow speed hit/bump. I...

What the?

gmjunkie: Thanks for responding with the analysis and recommendation for improvements. What I don't understand is why isn't the Corvette ready to go? After-all, this is "America's Sportscar" then why don't I have confidence in cornering? Why isn't the car setup correctly in the first place? I...
