My 87 convertible has trunk hinges that are not the same ones used on all Avantis. They are just a non spring loaded hinge that uses lift supports to hold up the trunk lid. It is an awful design and the supports get in the way of storage in the small trunk. I suspect these are not factory and may have been replacements for whatever reason. My question is can I replace them with the proper Avanti trunk hinges that are readily available?

I was wondering the same thing

The bearings have all fallen out of my seat slider frame on my 87 convertible. I purchased a new universal frame to have my floor mounts welded on to. However the new frame is too thin to safely weld anything on to it. So I'm back to square one with a broken driver's seat. Can anyone tell me where to get a good used frame or tell where the originals were sourced from so I can proceed in that direction? My car will remained parked until I can fix this headache! Thanks all.

I was leaning towards trying Weldwood. Thanks for the tips all!

I tried 3M trim and adhesive and my insulator fell off as soon as the underhood temperatures rose. Then I tried Gorilla glue spray adhesive and again first hot day and after driving for an hour the insulator fell off again. I need something that will hold the insulator in place in these extreme temperatures.

Thank-you Bob, no hurry. BTW, My 87 has no pressure switch anywhere. I've followed all the freon hoses and there is no switch anywhere in the system.

I believe I once saw that the master was from a Ford, but I cannot remember the year and model.

I downloaded the wiring diagram for the 87 Avanti. It covers everything except the HVAC system. Since the system was Chrysler and not Monte Carlo I need to see how it was wired. My AC clutch is not engaging all of a sudden. The clutch works it you jump it. There is no pressure switch in the system as well. Then fan comes on, but not the clutch when you push the AC buttons. Does anyone have a correct diagram?

I need the escutcheons for my 87 door latches with the GM latch assemblies. Anyone know what they were sourced from or, have a pair to sell me?
