I purchased a carpet kit for my 89 conv. that I am told fits 87, 88 also. Haven't installed it yet so don't know for sure it fits. Bought from Avanti Parts & Restoration in Morrisville Pa. Call Bob Ziff 800-524-8142.

I have an 89 convertible, does anyone know:
is there a vin# code for paint color, carpet & upholstery color, etc?
a source for carpet and pad for this year?
-
I've had good luck using vinyl roof dies, (available at auto body supply stores), on dingy convertible tops....All colors should be available.
Was that on a vinyl or canvas top? If you did yourself is there any particular application method so the color comes out uniform without streaking?
-
I have a beige canvas convertible top; anyone have any experience/info on possibility of dying it a darker color like dark red/burgundy?
-
Would like to hear from anyone who has replaced an 89 convertible top and also frame. Need weatherstripping for doors, windows and top also. Also seat and window motors rebuild or replacements. Any leads will be appreciated.

Finally getting down to serious restoration after couple of false starts. Need sources for convertible top and frame, hydraulic pistons for top, carpet kit if available, seat mounting bars and brackets on seat mounting rails(if available separately), window motor parts, repair or new ones, switches for trunk and gas filler cover, all rubber for doors, windows, top, etc. I'm sure more things I haven't found yet like seat, window switches.
Any information/ leads will be appreciated.

I am in the process of restoring my 89 conv. I am looking for sources for door, window and top weather stripping, seat and window motors, switches & latches for trunk & gas cap, convertible top, dash, mounting plates for front seats, upgrades for lights,etc. Also what larger wheel, tire combinations will fit without major modification and source for wire wheels. I am not trying to build a "show car" but just a nice driver that I can take on the occasional trip and attend some meets when It's roadworthy
I am located just north of the Tampa Fl. area and can be reached at 352-588-2701. Any feed back or calls would be greatly appreciated.

Transmission shift cable
in 1984-91 Avanti
Posted
Need to replace broken automatic shift cable on 1989 Avanti. Looked at various late 80's Chevrolet parts but haven't seen anything looks similar. Anyone know what model and year the original part was made for or even better a part # for a replacement? Also the plastic piece that covers the tunnel hole where the cable comes through is broken. Appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks,
Gordon
