Went to the Woodward Dream Cruise in my '81 last Saturday, and everything was fine until the engine stalled about two hours into the cruise. When I went to restart, it wouldn't crank at all...no sound whatsoever from the starter. A couple of kind folks pushed me around the corner, out of the...

My '81 suddenly developed a case of "no-fold" in the driver's seat. Seat won't fold forward to get at the battery door behind it. Just started doing that...worked fine before. Before I disassemble anything, is this a common problem? Is it easily fixable, or do I need a new hinge for the...

Are there any localized listings for good Vette mechanics available anywhere? I live in SE Michigan, and just bought my '81 late this summer. My brother-in-law has given me the location of someone he seems to like, but he's 40 miles from me (so is the mechanic)...and I can't seem to locate...

I've got an annoying squeal going on when my '81 is driven about 45 mph. It doesn't happen all the time. I thought it might be a belt, but they all seem tight (about 1/4' play). The squeal only seems to happen when the engine is under stress. I've never heard it while the car is just idling...

The dome light in my '81 doesn't seem to want to work. Dimmer switch works with other courtesy lights, fuse is OK and there's a new bulb in the dome light -- but it doesn't work. Short of ripping out the related wiring and replacing it, is there anything anyone else has discovered that I...

Has anyone tried to fix the vanity mirror on the passenger side? The visor in my '81 is fine, but it seems the switch for the lights on the vanity mirror has slipped out of position, and the lights don't work at all when the lid is raised. Is there any easy way to remove the mirror from the...

The passenger side door handle on my '81 seems to have the vinyl "skinned" away from the front edge (if that makes sense). It's pulled back from the narrow end of the handle. I don't see any way to fix it, other than buying new handles. I know they're available, but wondered if anyone had run...

The passenger side door on my '81 will not open from the outside...the latch handle just goes down and does not seem to engage anything. The door opens fine from the inside. I can't seem to find out why...anybody know? :confused

Anyone know how difficult it might be to install an '82 pop-up rear window in an '81? Better yet, anyone know where to get one? :confused

How easy is it to replace this part: http://www.ecklers.com/product.asp?pf%5Fid=A8652&dept%5Fid=1717 I finally got new horns to replace the old, corroded pair that were on the car. Cleaned connectors, checked fuses, and got a new relay. Horn works now...sometimes. Seems to miss if you are...

Does anyone know what kind of bolts/fasteners were used on the back end of the 1981 front spoiler, to mount it? Seems the only one that was still there (most are missing) has sheered off (and the front hook is broken off) so the spoiler on the '81 I just bought just sort of sits there! Have it...
