  1. Years ago I purchased an 'imitation' Recaro seat for the driver side ('88). As I recall I also needed to buy (from the seat manufacturer) a seat floor mount that was for the GM platform. This was necessary for the New seat to be able to 'match' the floor studs/bolts. So, yes GM.

    Opinion (Γ—2)

    Why not try both? www.fivestarbodies.com has 'lifelike' decal graphics of large round and square headlights! Look under "graphics". 😜 Type 'graphics' in Search bar and go to page 4 - Universal Headlights Graphics.
  3. There is no such thing. Try and find the GM Chevy Monte Carlo Manual preferably with 2 smaller manuals (one electric) for 1987. Haynes is better than nothing. Also, buy the shop and parts manuals for Studebaker Avanti from one of our excellent vendors. The car is GM. The body is Avanti. Back in the day I was lucky enough to find information specific to the '88 regarding how to remove the dashboard which is different from original Avantis (reach the heater core). This information was included in my sale of the car so I don't have it now - but someone might (It was typed and not published).
  4. Could you be more specific? Does the Fan switch work? What year car?
  5. I always thought they were from the donor car.
  6. Have you tried an Exorcist?😐
  7. If the driver side is not up at all try pounding on the corner of the hood by the driver side with a closed fist going down - it may pop open.
  8. I always thought it would be cool if an Avanti trailer was made available (rear part of car made into a small trailer). What gave me this thought was many years ago seeing a Plymouth Prowler(?) passing me on the freeway when all of a sudden another Prowler was right on his tail!😡 A Prowler trailer.
  9. Don't think this has any connection with Chrysler. I got a new heater core for my '88 from one of our great suppliers years ago - he bought all the factory excess from Youngstown. Can't recall his name but he was from Wixom, MI. He just might have the evap for you!

    Door locked

    I've been trying to remember - I think my door wouldn't open from the inside so 'playing' with the latch mechanism (lifting with flat head screwdriver) while pulling on interior door handle and pushing out lightly. In the end I guess a small spring on the latch mechanism was worn out.

    Door locked

    If I'm understanding correctly - you cannot manually unlock either door from the outside because of no key. Also, the passenger door has lock mechanism issues. I would suggest removing the interior door panel on the passenger side to see what is going on (including rusted parts). Then you could also have the locksmith make a new key using the passenger side lock. If you can't even open the passenger door there should be a small opening at the edge of the door on the inside where you can use a screwdriver to manipulate the locking/latching device (play with it).
  12. You should be able to 'pry' any of the switches out easily to verify usage.
  13. What about the 5 mph bumper collision impact (shock absorber system)?
  14. Reminds me of the time many years ago when I had to get my mandatory emissions check from Wisconsin and the lady inspector said I failed do to a lack of a charcoal canister. I had to point it out to her (hidden nicely)!😎
