Default See my NEW CORVETTE!

My new and first corvette!!!

Below is a photo of my 1991 Corvette Convertible! It was delivered yesterday (Saturday) morning. 32k miles.

Got it all cleaned up yesterday with a good friend (who has an 2007 vert).

Today went for a nice 90 minute drive after church. Perfect weather, what a great cruiser! So much fun!

Overall the car is in really good condition. Only a couple minor issues thus far, and I will begin researching shortly to find answers.

1. Driver window not going up/down. The power locks work and the passenger window functions properly.

2. The driver side convertible lid is not latching completely...rattles.

3. Antenna is not going up/down properly.

Enjoy she looks great

Re the power window, the plug on the window motor can be tugged to one side by the wiring harness and make a bad contact. Try this, hold the up or down switch and slam the door closed at the same time.
If it works again for a while its the wiring connector adjar, the next thing to do is get a 91 shop manual.

Because you will need it, you can diagnose and fix most issues yourself rather than paying a professional a lot of money for their time.

The shop manual is the corvette bible you cannot do without, unless you have plenty of cash to pay a good corvette mechanic who are very hard to come by. We C4 owners need to know as much about our cars as possible to keep our wallets filled with gas money.

Very nice!!

Learned from an old used car guy, "window trick":

Engine running, hold the window switch in the down position & slam the door closed.

Nice car. It wouldn't be a C4 if the power antenna worked.

Welcome to the Forum and congrats on your new '91 Vette...

For testing, you might try swapping the power window sw with the power door lock sw as they are the same unit.
