Here's what I did to remove the "wood" dash kit that came with my 87... The offending trim: Remove trim with putty knife: This is the awful ancient adhesive left behind: Grim!: I tried many many approaches before finding this stuff. I spray it on and let it sit for 4-5 minutes...

Yep, the old ones were pretty rough! Did you just have to drill really small holes and match them to the existing ones?

Hey all, I just replaced the window seals on the passenger side of my '87 coupe. Thought I'd share some info on the install... Excellent instructions for the outside seal can be found at this Corvette Magazine article However, I bought a GM inner window seal, and there were neither...

Hey bossvette, Might be a case of these specific wheels being A-mold and the name sticking with them despite not being unique to them.

Me too - I have a gold 1987 and I think gold is one of the few colours that isn't complemented by silver/chrome wheels. Definitely want to get the black ZR-1 style repro fivespokes from AFS wheels one day....*soon*... Also that'll give me the muscle-y 17" look, which I much prefer to the stock...

That is correct.

Looks like it has a "carbon fiber" dash kit. If it was installed with adhesive and you are interested in returning the car to a more stock interior at any point, it can be a very tough job. fyi.

That's what I had hoped, just a little weird how easily it floats from D to OD...thanks for the reply Jeb.

I have the same shifter issue, hope somebody has some info!

Can't offer much in terms of advice as I am still learning a lot of this myself, but just wanted to say hello to a fellow Lower Mainland Vette owner. cheers

Awesome! You guys have kept your leather in supreme condition!

Whoa, even better! This is the only place that had every single one of mine. http://www.laruetx.com/autos/vette/RPOCodes.html

Nice! Your interior in particular looks mint! Three cheers for rare Pacific Northwest gold C4's!

Thanks in part to some very helpful members of this C4 forum, I recently purchased a gold 1987 automatic coupe. Just wanted to say thanks again for the seat-related advice, guys - she's a beaut! Already replaced the serpentine belt and shocks, many more minor fixes to come...

Well I got the Vette! Thanks so much for your help guys, hope to learn much more here in the coming months... cheers Andrew

Just an update, looks like they might be the original seats! This was found on a different forum... "I think there are some slight errors in the meaning of codes AR9 & AQ9 in the Black Book and Cor-'Vette Specs main option tables. I've "code whipped" over 200, '87-'89's over the past year and...

Hey all, In my obsessive researching of RPO codes as I evaluate an 87 Vette, I came across a pretty official seeming list of GM RPO codes. I'm still not sure if the seats in the vette I'm looking at are original, but this list proved really helpful in tracking ALL the rpo's down, even some that...

Thanks for the responses guys! Ezmunie, it has AR9 and 62C, which looks to me like: AR9 = base seats(some places say leather but maybe just base?) 62C = saddle cloth interior (means seats too?) Thoughts? I found an amazing GM RPO document which I'll post in a separate thread. Thanks again!

Hey all, Looking for an automatic 85-89 C4, not a convertible. Not too picky on mileage, but would much prefer < 125K As close to stock as possible, not interested in modifications, as I would like to fix/restore towards a collector's insurance once it's 25 years old. Thanks! Andrew

Looks to be as I feared then, think it had RPO AR9 = base seats leather... Thanks so much for the quick responses!
