    Question: Exterior finish care products

    I won't be able to help very much here. What I've been taught about vehicle wax, is that dish soap (dawn etc) is used to strip wax and sealants off before applying 'this years coat'. Dish soap gets everything off your car and back down to the clear coat. Then you can clay, do any paint...

    Pumping fuel

    Only time I've had this issue with my '04 is within the first few weeks that I owned it. I had this issue when I'd put the nozzle all the way in. After a few times of filling, I learned to pull the nozzle out about an inch. I've never had that issue since. Another thing you can try is...that...

    2001 CD Player showing ERR message

    I found the issue with my factory '04 radio/cd player not playing my home burned cd's. I've been using the CD-RW recently. The radio won't play ANY of those, but it plays EVERY CD-R, regardless of the brand. If you are burning cd's, you'll have to use the CD-R only. If that doesn't work, I'm...

    New paint

    I use "Garry Deans Infinite Use Detail Juice". It smells incredible and works even better! I got the 32oz bottle. Amazing value and awesome results. He's out of Tampa, and I see running a 20% holiday special (I didn't look at the details of it) Garry Dean's Infinite Use Detail Juice • 32oz –...

    Help! Steering column cover bolts

    Try this link to Corvette Forum. It has several pic's, 1 of which states the screws are either a T15 or T20 Torx screw. Of course, as long as you get the right size of screw, a regular phillips or standard should work. Hope this helps. I'd go to Bomgaars, Tractor Supply, Orshelns, Ace, etc to...

    Radar Detector Mounting

    I seen a while back a power cord made specifically for BELL, Valentine, and a couple other detectors that plug right in to the rear view mirror power supply. I think it's called 'Invisicord'. Anyhoo, here is a youtube video of it. It only works with CERTAIN detectors, so be sure you confirm it...

    Question: Squeaky sepentine belt

    I agree with Catbert. My first thought was a pulley on its way out. I've also been under the impression that as belts age, they become more likely to slip on the pulleys making them them squeal until they get warmed up and friction gets a hold of them. I put a set of the Goodyear gator style...

    C7 spotted today :)

    Hey all!! I JUST seen a C7pulling out of a car wash down the street from my house and I was able to get a few pic's of it with my phone. Thought I'd share them with everyone. I never cared for the C7 until just now seeing it in person. It's a really awesome looking car (even the tail...

    C7 spotted today :)

    I know this is the C5 playhouse, but I wanted to share these pic's I just took of a C7 pulling out of the car wash down the street from my house. I never cared for the C7 until just now seeing it in person. It's a really awesome looking car (even the tail lights seem to fit the design, hard to...

    Drivers door window doesn't always work.

    I have an '04 that turned 52k miles today. I've recently had a similar issue with my passenger door. But I'm losing ALL power to it, window, lock, mirror, the whole works. On mine, opening the door ALL the way and reclosing it usually allows me to get the window back up, or down, which ever way...

    Question: Fog Light / Hatch Switch

    I couldn't tell ya about the bulb thing. Both light up on my '04 vert. Here's a couple really bad pic's I just took for you to enjoy. The bezel around the buttons is really easy to remove, then a torque screw holding them in, and there's just a little plug on each button if you need to remove...

    satellite radio or mp3 player

    "Funny my cd's that I made won't play in my car but will play in my other car." I had the EXACT issue with my '04. The problem was this...The cd's I was burning my tunes on to was a CD-RW, which I found out are rewritable, and the computer doesn't 'close them out' I had to get CD-R cd roms...

    satellite radio or mp3 player

    Hmm, I'm not much of a techy. I've always been told that Apple has their own set up as far as connections go. I don't know if a universal adapter is available or not. If you can get to an Apple store, or maybe a Verizon that carries the Apple line, they'd be able to point you in the right...
