I have a '77 with a luggage rack on the back deck. I'd like to remove it for
re-chroming but I've heard that if I unscrew the fasteners that the nuts
will fall off underneath and are not accessible without removing the gas
tank.

My 87 coupe just turned 70K miles and needs new shocks. It has the Z52 (not
Z51) package. It has what I believe are the original Delco-Bilstein shocks.
Fuguring that there are others who've put new shocks on their C4 this
season, I thought I'd troll to see what recommendations are ...

the useless present navigation system on the 2005 Corvette.

First off, I'm NOT a vette owner but having just gone thru a hail
storm yesterday in Texas, I wondered if the hail (pea size) would hurt
(make pock marks) in the newer corvette bodies if parked in an open
area?  Are vettes still fiberglass bodies?  

I haven't owned a Corvette in almost 30 years (my last one was a '71
big block) so I am out of touch with the major changes.  I am thinking
of trying to recapture my lost youth by getting a used 'vette
convertible.  The 1985 to 1992 models seem to be in the price range I

How did it hide small surface cracks on the front fenders ?
Thanks.

I'm looking for the "best" shop manual or manuals for an '87 coupe. Opinions
or suggestions appreciated. TIA

The 6 spd 99 I just bought has very little parking brake grab. The previous
owner gave me receipts that show that the brakes were replaced 15K miles
ago. I've gone to a few forums that have varying information. One talks
about pulling up on the handle with the button depressed 5 ...

A friend of mine has this problem, of his wipers comin' on at any random
time.. When It occurred (at a car wash,)  since then they come on at
anytime. Maybe a light tap of the motor ?   Anybody in the group have come
across this situation  before ?  Is there any fix for this...Now ...

Have a urgent question about the C3 frame. I have a 79 here which has the
complete right side (were the 4 bodymounts are) sitting on average 1/2"
higher than the left side.  Cross measuring from one bodymount to the other
suggest the frame is still very much straight.

My 1992 LT1 is due for an antifreeze change. I believe I read
somewhere that only the old style green antifreeze should be used in
pre-1994 cars. A dealer has told me I can use the newer Dex Cool. I
thought the article I read said that will attack my solder joints in

Anyone done the '94-up Headlight motor bushing upgrade?
I was just wondering from someone who has already done it

Dumb question but can't find the answer in the manual.
Just got a 2004. How do you turn off the headlamps when they come on
automatically?

Don't know if you have seen this, but a nice idea for a new law. Get the
lane blockers out of the way.
