when the catalytic convertor starts to go it can rattle like that. you may have to have some one outside and then torque the engine in gear to get it to rattle. Takes a combo or heat and rpms to get it noisy. they usually sound like marbles In a can but I have not actually heard one out on an...

yeah you are correct. I was at a vintage race in Watkins Glenn and two cars came hard into the same corner. A mustang worth about 50,000 and a Ferrari GTO worth about 25 million at the time. Neither backed off and they both made it. After the race the two drivers were talking about how much...

people have been paying 2000- 2500 each and about 20 have sold in the last year for those prices. Might not be worth it as you say. Just a bunch of plastic and diods. But some people looking would be glad to get a nice taillight for 900$. So what something is worth is truly up to each person. I...

they still have them in Lansing .you would have to order from a dealer and not one of the online parts sellers. Lansing is working on minimum help and orders are taking 4-5 weeks . That's why online they just cancel as they don't want to order then have you cancel due to the time to get them. I...

As I said before prices are coming down. here are two nice lights at a very fair price. with about 50 lights out there for sale I see prices continuing to come down even if others do not agree.

well I sort of don't blame the glass guy. I see no way that a roll of masking tape could damage the top to that extent. Both hinge assy, hoses, pump, lines ,roof module and you still are under 6000. Sounds like another dealer that doe not have a clue so "lets just replace everything and hope we...

take it the body shop and not service .Body shop labor is around 55-60 in Nashville service is double and they do very few body jobs .Actually they will take it in and send it to the body shop and charge you the mark up. Go to a chevy store that does corvette work. About an hour labor and the...

what you seem to describe is a sealant leak but most glass companies are pretty good at what they do. You most likely used safelight because other than GM that is the only glass I have found. They both are made by the same company. if the urethan sealant has a void that could be your leak but...

you should get them. I have 30 if anyone needs any

the leak where water comes out of the vents on the windshield post is due to the drain tube on each side being stopped up. they drain out the bottom of the car under the right fender area. The tube may be unattached at the rubber seal on the front roof gasket. The rear water leak has been...

well by my ordereing a bunch of them and my parts guy calling them( often) they have made more and seem to be in stock again. Just like I told people to order the top modules and enough did that they made more. I ordered 10 and paid 7500$ to help get them made. Anytime a part is still listed but...

its a textured metal piece. the problem is the plastic it is mounted to is not firm enough and there is an air space between the metal and plastic. that allows it to dent easily. Most panels like this are bonded directly to the plastic and provide a little extra protection. As thin as it is...

aftermarket tech twos are around 400$ or less . You will want to get one and learn to use it as that estimate from the dealer will usually double or triple as they try and learn how to work on the car at your expense. Might as well learn yourself. A lot of people on here have bought them and...

on of the former members paid some of the high school shop kids to look for the material to match . They wrote called every factory manufacture they could find with no results. The companies that make those parts say usually they manufacture the material to match GM specs and when they finish...

several post on here how to remove them with a couple of screws and you can clean the contacts to get it to work .Plus a new one is only like 25$ About the cheapest part you can still buy and fix a problem on the car (because they are the same part on the vette)

and If I remember they claimed to have to pull the engine for a dropped bolt. I dropped more than my share and have always been able to retrive them. I wonder what bolt they dropped? That's just a stupid repair for a stupid reason to take the engine down.

I think he already had the dealer attempt to paint the panel and the job did not turn out. Most likely they cleared the whole panel and will have to do it again. If the insurance paid they wont get involved in any payout for shoddy work. IN fact I have seen insurance companies when pushed...
