In today's video, I'll be giving a brief description and overview of the C4 Corvette interior plastics and show just how many of the panels are now plastic versus the earlier year cars. I will also illustrate the proper removal and replacement of the header trim panel and show how it interacts with the surrounding pieces.
Thanks for watching👍

Good video helps me with my LT 4

This is a little off topic, but have you ever made a repair to the third brake light of a 91-96 C4 where the bumper gets warped and pops out around the light? I can push it back into place but it will not stay. Was thinking of rigging something behind it by gluing a hook to the bumper cover and another to the gas tank and use some type of ties to compress it to bring it back in.

Where in Texas are you located I have a 85 that I am trying to get back on the road and need advice and parts I AM NEAR CENTERVILLE TX.

[@VetteSource]

I am in Houston. Funny thing I just drove through Centerville on my way to Paris.

Enter, it sounds like you are having some BCM issues. Since it is an intermittent event, you may have a simple problem with the wiring in the harness connector. If that checks out, you may have an internal fault in the BCM. There is a method to put the BCM in diagnostic mode using the buttons on the DIC switch. The procedure is outlined in the factory service manual. If you haven't purchased one yet, I highly recommend buying one for your car. Let me know how it turns out👍.

Do you know if and when the changed to the pin drive optispark on the corvette? Or did they keep the spile drive on the corvette and just go vented?

[@VetteSource]

The Corvette went to the pin drive in 1995 with the introduction of the vented optispark. If I'm remembering correctly, it was an across the board change for all the car models with the opti installed.

[@C4VETTELT1]

@VetteSource yes it was I just wasn't sure if the corvette did too but that really doesn't make sense to upgrade the rest and not the corvette! Gm flat out wouldn't do that I don't think. But thanks for the information and I'm stating to see why I never had any issues with the 95Z28 I had but have been having horrible luck with this 92 but I'm getting one of those vented petris optisparks so the vented and supposedly a Mitsubishi equivalent or better optical sensors and hopefully all my problems will be cured.

[@VetteSource]

Yea, that's not a bad idea. My 92 has the original non-vented unit, and it gives me fits sometimes if it's outside while raining.

[@C4VETTELT1]

@VetteSource damn the original equipment huh?! I assume it's pretty low Mileage? That's a very long time ! ESPECIALLY for the 92!! The 92 had a recall on the first optispark units! I tried to find out if mine had the recall done to it but the dealership I called wasn't sure they said they'd look into but I never heard anything back which I wasn't surprised. I wouldn't have anyone else put one in anyway! Dealership or not! I don't trust people! If you want to make sure it's done right then I believe you gotta do it yourself if you know what you're doing.

[@stephenthompson439]
