    courtesy lights won't go off

    #29 in the inside fuse panel kills them. However the original battery was dead thursday morning and I replaced it. Checked everything in the driveway and all worked normal. Went to a show this weekend (hatch and hood open all day) and lights went out just as they should - 15 minutes. Suspect...

    courtesy lights won't go off

    After a car show this weekend I had a dead battery. Got the car started and home. After it started it charged back up to 14.1 volts and stayed there while running. It sat in the garage all night and started this morning. Started checking and found that when the rear hatch is left opened (as it...

    Corvette C6-R program could be a victim of its own success

    whatever they decide i hope they will race against somebody. I've been to the last three sebrings and will go again next year, It's been pretty boring watching the two vettes cruise around. three years ago it was a race for all 12 hours when the astins were racing for real. Shame vipers and...

    Hood operation

    Well I replaced the gas struts and the hood comes up easier but it still doesn't "pop up" when I pull the release. next thing I'll replace the springs at the rear corners of the hood.

    Hood operation

    If it pops up a inch it's not stuck in the latch. Something else is going on

    Hood operation

    Yep - that was the first thing I tried. It's moving free just not moving far. Thanks for the suggestion though

    Hood operation

    The tool that Gordon Kilebrew invented is the only easy way to open a stuck hood. I have one under the seat just in case. Mid Ameria sells the tool and if you'll be at Carlisle next month Gordon will sell you one there.

    Hood operation

    Thannks - but it's not the cable. Both sides release but when they do the hood only rises a fraction of an inch. It used to pop up a couple inches. I've ordered new springs which are located on the rear corners and new strut cylinders. When i get them in I'll let you know what worked.

    Hood operation

    The hood on my 85 opens but when I pull the release it doesn't pop up as it used to. It does release but only comes up a tiny bit. I suspect the struts or the springs at the rear corners (or both) are worn out. What should I replace to make the hood "pop" open like it used to.

    Thanks - I'm about to give up and call the local upholstery shops and have them do it. Better to pay a little more than ruin one of these pieces

    seat installation

    Puchased new seats for my 1985. Went the whole route and bought the covers already installed on new foam. Old ones came out easy. New ones should be a snap to install. The bottoms are but the tops are giving me a fit. ;help The four existing clips in the seat frames are all in good shape...

    hatch struts

    Thanks for the advice. I got it done. The existing struts may have been some after market types. (car is 22 years old) There were no clips at either end. I unscrewed the socket at the window end and moved the strut toward the inside. It popped right out of the bottom. Then put the socket in a...

    hatch struts

    I just purchased new rear window struts for my "85. The new ones, from Mid America look easy to install, however I can't figure out how to get the original ones off. Anyone done this before.
