1989 C4 CORVETTE MODS AND REPAIRS PART 10

[@ReynoldsRides]

After a cold start the next morning with the AC on high, there were no squeaks. 😉🤞

[@XSpt1]

My weatherstripping had no glue, and I installed the new one without glue too. It was a perfect fit

[@ReynoldsRides]

Good to know, thanks!

[@dalemihocik4732]

Glad that you didn't BS us and say that the old molding pops right off . When I did the hatch molding I didn't use any adhesive since I never drive when it's raining and I have not had issues with water coming in while washing the car . Only you can make the call on this , but I don't think you need the adhesive .

[@ReynoldsRides]

Cool, thanks.

[@novajoe67]

I did all my weather stripping on my 89, it was not too bad. I have never done this before, I did it by myself, if possible have someone help the extra set of hands are so handy and helpful. I live in Arizona and did not use a lot of adhesive, I used it mainly in the corners. I watched a bunch of you tube videos on how to install the weather stripping They were very helpful. I would highly recommend to watch them.

[@KNIhokki]

Greetings from Finland!! Keep these videos coming...Your C4 is a beauty!!

[@thomashenson2664]

I have a '93 and since there's a handful of specifics between two styles I plan on doing similar videos when I start repairs

[@ronkarczewski3975]

I am having camaro video withdrawals 😂

[@ReynoldsRides]

The next video will be a Camaro video 😉. Have you seen all 4 of my Camaro videos?

[@ronkarczewski3975]

Reynolds Rides yes , I am following the progress. 👍

[@ReynoldsRides]

Thanks Ron, stay tuned.

[@BasementBrosss]

I still want to race your Camaro

[@vettepurist304]

Great job Christopher Carley.

[@timbixbi9938]

Keep up the good work

[@ReynoldsRides]

🙏👍

[@gavinroth8906]

I just used sealant as adhesive for mine, but if you do that be warned don't use too much. Also if you have to replace the rear hatch weather stripping, it will be near impossible to close and has to stay closed for a month to compress the strip. I had to replace all the weatherstripping on my 85 and holy crap that old adhesive is ridiculously good.

[@ReynoldsRides]

Thanks for the info!

[@doctyler5382]

Yes that glue gets quite hard when it gets old. Thanks for the advice about the hatch, I'm going to try to reattache mine. Its not to bad, it just has a small tear in a corner.

[@larrybud]

Don't use the EPDM weatherstripping, use latex. The EPDM stuff is garbage.

[@michaelthebarbarian3380]

LOL, too funny. Those clips were my first mods. When I first used them the one on the PS slipped out immediately and I was like "WTF is this shit? Worst design ever!" The saw these on Ecklers. I feel this is a MUST do mod for all C4 owners.

[@Theridingherf]

Don't know if you already tried but those squeak pads looks like they attach to the car it's self the instructions you showed us looks that way to me.

[@bartdaw6681]

Try chalking your belt as well with sidewalk chalk.

[@rueben44]

Told you it was the tention on the belt. I've seen that more times than I can count. Now if I heard you right you don't have the right model for those pads. That top changed somewhere near 90 ish.

[@doctyler5382]

It doesn't work in my 84 either...it's a scam in my opinion.

[@77777771955]

HAH, Bet owner of Ecklers was engineer for corvette who made his second career 🤣

[@richardpeters2193]

My '94 had the roof panel pads. Believe me it still rattled. The pads were worn down almost perfectly flat. I didn't put any more money into it because my top had many delamination cracks and was going to replace it. My point is the pads do go on the roof. Perhaps they need to be trimmed? I sold the car before replacing the roof. I'm a big fan of Corvette Central for C4 parts.

[@ReynoldsRides]

Thanks for sharing, good to know.

[@doctyler5382]

Corvette Central doesn't make the parts they just sell them for someone else. The pads don't work. Good thing you didn't end up fixing it. lol

[@KurtWinters]

Oh wait never mind, I found them

[@mikep47]

You should be able to trim those pieces to fit the targa panel.

[@davidb2552]

Check your harmonic balancer.. my was pushing forward and it was bad. Just look at it

[@stevenhoehne2142]

The Roof Panel Eliminator Kit. Try to fit it on the corvette body itself and not the roof panel. Hope this works for ya,.

[@ReynoldsRides]

I’ll try that, thanks.

[@johneskew3531]

how to replace the power antenna on 93 c4

[@KurtWinters]

May I please have my sunglasses back ?

[@cljerjr31]

howa the cobra coming along?

[@ReynoldsRides]

Good! More content coming soon. I think I need to replace my O2 sensors.

[@NetzKanal]

At 1:30 I think this cover doesn't look very healthy, does it? 🤔

[@ReynoldsRides]

She’s old, man.😉

[@BasementBrosss]

Old but gold

[@Hellbird-uk7yi]

Hey so I have a question is it ok I’m one vid you give a tour of the body like the bottom if you don’t mind I’m looking for one just wanna see you know

[@doctyler5382]

Hey bro I bought the same kit and it didn't work. I believe it is a scam, I even try trimming it to fit but no luck. It's Crap!

[@dougekren6495]

I wouldn't call them failures , you can't have three hours of work ! Besides everyone knows about bad instructions.

[@ReynoldsRides]

😉

[@larrybud]

Can we talk about how horrible the covers for the target top are? I hope whoever designed those was fired.

[@norge1956]

The rear cover is suppose clip on over the top not under the mount.. Waste of money

[@ReynoldsRides]

Your comment makes no sense. Watch the video again. The cover on the passenger side would slip underneath the clip (after bringing it over the top). The new clips prevent it from doing that. How is it a waste of money if it fixes the problem?

[@houseofno]

@@ReynoldsRides no offense but please don't feed trolls. They contribute nothing to your channel and thrive on attention. That is the clinical definition of a parasite. Great job on video!
