How to Repair Your Fiero Center Stack & Shifter Panel

If your Fiero center stack has bulged up and out or your shifter plate panel has loosened, this video tells you how to repair them by scraping out the foam filling and using Automotive Goop.
Part of the November NIFE (Northern Illinois Fiero Enthusiasts) meeting at Rock Chevrolet in Grayslake, IL

Thank you, I found for the center console I used 1/4 inch PVC and cheap Harbor freight ratcheting claps. I put them along the top to push that lip down. Take your time cleaning out the foam and blow it out with air so you have nice surfaces to glue. Yes and leave it for 24 hours. But worked great.

Thank you! I've been a Fiero enthusiast for years and finally have one of my own! This video and your other videos are very insightful and helpful, Thank you again!

Glad to help! As they go well beyond their intended lifespan, we have to stay on top of the infirmities of "old age". :D

Roger that my friend! Such a fun car! Perhaps at some point we can talk or meetup at a show! Have a great day!

I managed to get my hands on a 1985 Fiero, I'm in the process of disassembling it to find out if there is any structural damage and to tackle any rust. I'm studying upholstery to restore the interior. I have experience with avionic electric harness manufacturing so I'm hoping that will help in the repair and refit of this Fiero. Thank you for your efforts in the Fiero community my friend.

Thank you for bringing all these for Fiero enthusiasts

[@artistmac]

Glad to do it.

Love all the videos you have on Fiero upkeep and repair. Trying to bring mine back to life and informative content WITH visuals is hard to find online so to you and the few others who have kept intensive records I tip my hat to you

Great vid but did the camera man have his nail painted !?

[@artistmac]

Yes. November 2016 (when this was shot) was Anti-Domestic Violence month, hence the color purple. The theme was "Put a Nail in It", and if you went to a community event that month, you got your ring-finger nail painted in support. Glad you asked.

artistmac Ohh coo coo

You should find a noisier place to shoot a video. I almost heard a little of what you’re talking about. Shake the camera a little more too.

[@artistmac]

You're right, Wes. We should have shot this in a dedicated studio with a tripod instead of with a handheld camera in a service department of the dealership which graciously provided the space. BTW, if the unexpected and annoying aggravate you, never, EVER attempt to repair a Fiero or any other mechanical device, LOL.

[@pbpunisher99]

@@artistmac LOL, good advice!! I heard things just fine thanks for the video.
