    WTB door courtesy lamp lens

    Want To Beg (Ha!) Got a new 3D printer and I have the skills & resources to design the parts in CAD. I'm going to work on reproducing the un-obtainable courtesy lamp lens with a slightly-less brittle plastic, but I'm looking for a donated broken part to measure and model. I'm not going to take...

    Chrome hood molding

    Looking for an excellent hood chrome molding for a V. Mine has a small ding, and I’m working towards a concours entry, so I’m sweating the details. I’d also be willing to trade plus some money, so you can capitalize on your nicer part if your not as anal as I need to be, but you’ll still have a...

    Picky, picky, picky

    Incomplete printed manuals

    I recently had a short, pleasant conversation on the Book-of-Faces about the .pdf versions of the service manual that I've seen (and purchased) online and the fact that they are missing a lot of sections. I found this out when I was trying to chase down all the ins and outs of the class 2 bus...

    Help! Rear object sensor module location

    Does anyone know where they relocated the backup sensor module? The manual shows it next to the digital radio, but it is not.

    Top Hydraulics

    Sittin‘ here eating lunch with theTV on, watching Wheeler Dealers when something interesting came on. They were working on a Saab 93 convertible and took the cylinders to be rebuilt at Top Hydraulics! The episode is S16E3 “Saab’s Your Uncle.” I didn’t find it for free online or I would have...

    Horn connector

    Anyone know how to release this connector from the horn assembly? The fuse blows immediately when using the horn and I am trying to troubleshoot it, but cannot get the connector off. I slid the grey part off, but not sure what to do now and it is almost a blind operation where it is sitting. TIA

    What is it?

    So I had the trim panel that includes the cup holders out today and I noticed this little gear that doesn’t engage with anything. My guess is it originally had something to do with the door that covers the cup holder. If you look closely, you’ll see the door-mechanism pin that rides in the slot...

    Looking for weird parts

    I'm looking for two parts that are to small and simple to have part numbers listed and too unique to find from another application. The first is the the two-piece clip on the bottom of the trunk divider. Here's a picture. The other, I do not have a picture of. There is a plastic guide on the...

    Help! Terrible rattle

    Just got stopped at the store and when I shut off the engine, it seemed to stop abruptly. I restarted ti and noticed a distinct rattle noise. Shut it off again, again an abrupt stop. Looking under the hood, there was a little smoke coming from the right front of the engine, low down. No obvious...

    Need some media help

    Hi all. I am putting together a compilation of XLR videos and could use some help. I've found several including the Elope commercial, some super bowl commercials, and the Motor Week review, but everything is pretty low resolution and some are almost too grainy to use. Can you find some more...

    Roof paint damage

    I apologize if this has been discussed, but it is hard to find in a search. Just today, I realized that the paint marks / flaws / uglies on my roof are actually caused by the forward-most trim panel on the trunk lid rubbing an the top when it is stored. Anyone else seen this? I THINK it will be...

    LC3 rabbit hole

    So, I’m down the rabbit hole on this. My buddy has an ‘06 STS-V with the same engine as my V, but…. It’s rated for more horsepower. Has anyone sorted out the story? Was it a marketing thing? Component differences? Yesterday, I spoke with a Northstar engineer, but he’d left GM before the LC3...

    Help! Retained Accessory Power (RAP) in trunk

    I've been scouring the wiring diagrams, but decided that while I continue to look, I'd ask y'all too. I'm looking for a Retained Accessory Power (RAP) wire available in the trunk, hopefully near the driver's side rear. That's the one that goes off 20 minutes after the ignition is turned off. I...

    Power seat, top, tilt wheel not working

    Tomorrow, I’ll get after it with more troubleshooting, but thought I’d throw this out there in case anyone else has seen and solved it. There is going to be too much info in this post because I don’t know what is relevant and what isn’t. I haven’t been driving the car much and the battery was...

    Help! Missing service manual pdf

    Hi y'all, I have the electronic version of the service manual, but one pdf I'm missing is one I need. Does anyone have the Computer/Integrating section? Any help is appreciated. If there are different versions, I have an '08, but I suspect they are probably all very similar if not identical...

    Ignorant navigation question

    I’ll openly admit my ignorance (but not stupidity.) Today was the first time I tried the navigation and was surprised (stunned?) that the turn by turn didn’t pop up on the HUD. I decided to “RTFM” and sure enough, under HUD functionality it says nothing about nav. I know the ‘Vette does and that...
