    C-6 Exhaust Upgrade

    I'm looking for feedback regarding a potential exhaust upgrade on a 2005 base model C-6 that I purchased in May with 21,000 miles on it. How practical is it to replace the standard exhaust with a remote controlled two-tone system? It's my understanding the complete exhaust system may need to...

    Question: C-6 CD Player

    I recently purchased a C-6 coupe that was built on April 27, 2005, and have a question. The factory build order indicates it has the "1SB - Preferred Equipment Group" including a 6-disc CD player. It has a tilt screen door for inserting the CD and the navigation DVD. However, I've only been...

    1985 Window Problem

    Upon removing the door panel, I discovered the plastic gear strip had broken. Replaced the strip and the window is working fine now.

    1985 Window Problem

    The passenger side window on my 1985 will raise about only 1/3 of the way. I was able to grab the glass and slide it to the raised position, but when released it slides back to the 1/3 raised position. I am able to lower it with the switch but raise it about only 1/3 of the way. Any repair...

    Thinking about Leaving the Vette World

    Turned 75 last month and still enjoy driving my '85 C-4 with 120k miles on it. I intentionally limit the extent of maintenance that I do [impaired vision in right eye], but just replaced the door panel on the passenger side. Always amazes me the number of people who stop to comment on the...

    1985 Corvette Hood Won’t Pop Up

    Hi Gerry - Although I've replacaed the hood struts as well as the coil springs on the latching pins, I've also not been able to achieve the hood "pop" when pulling the latch handle. However, the new struts have made a significant difference with lifting the hood! Hope your message generates...

    Thanks for the tip! I'll need to experiment with this potential solution before the winter weather arrives in Wisconsin. :w

    Question: C4 Alarm Problem

    The switches mounted in the door jamb for both doors are secure and do not appear to be a problem. Thanks for the tip regardless!

    Hood operation

    Just received the replacement hood springs, but not sure how to go about replacing the original springs. Do I need to remove the complete assembly on each side of the hood? i.e. The triangular plate attached to the hood, or remove just the pin and spring? If just the pin and spring, how is...

    Hood operation

    As I'm experiencing the same lack of hood "pop" as described by Bill Heygster in his dated post, I read the various posts with a great deal of interest. Unlatching is not a problem with my 1985 C4; lack of "pop" is. I replaced the hood struts during the winter months, and have cleaned/lubed...

    Question: C4 Alarm Problem

    On occasion, the alarm will sound on my '85 after pressing the locking button on the inside of the door and then closing the door. As the problem occurs rather infrequently and the alarm can be turned off by unlocking the door with my key from the outside, it's more of a nuisance than a major...

    Help! Hood opening gas filled strut replacement

    I'm having a problem with replacing the hood opening gas struts on my '85 C4. The replacement struts were purchased on-line from a well know Corvette parts supplier. Each end of the first replacement strut fit over their respective studs individually, but I'm not able to slide both ends of the...
