I had a piece of weather striping rip off on my drivers side near where the panel attaches, and still no leak Even under heavy spray from a garden hose at point blank range.

My 97 leaks in through the floorboard where seat bolts in even whole sitting in the yard. was told that it is the body drains but i cant find anything about it. The "corvette specialist" that told me that was supposed to have cleaned them but it still leaks the same.

mine leaks petty bad when in heavy rain and using pressure washers. light rain it does fine. I just keep a towel in the car and if its raining put it where it leaks.

Hazard Flasher.
sorry about your c4.I still love my 95!When i got into my 01,i stepped into another world!the difference is unbelievable.my 01 has been relatively problem free for it's 26,ooo mile lifetime.there are little annoyances like the damn blinkers that go whacky and i have to push the hazard switch to get the blinkers to work!and the slightly rocking driver seat.not all that bad though because when i stomp on it,ooh,la,la!!no rattles,squeaks or anything,and i don't have to lift up my leg when i get in and out!go w/01 or up if you can,they bumped it up 5 hp in 01.(345-99, vs 350-01 up).p.s.no leaks,either.

I recently traded my 93 coupe for a Black 02 convertible. For the most part, the car is great with the acception it does leak. I discovered the leak about a weak ago. I first notice the wind leak about two weeks ago. Then last week when I did a full hand wash, water leaked in on from the driver side window. Due to the fact I bought it from a private own dealer, I'm taking back to him with hopes he works wtih me on the cost to rectify the problem.

This is from 2005. He probably (maybe) got his car fixed by now.

C5 top leak
My 2000 C5 has been leaking over the door windows when washing. Now starting to leak some in rain. Bought new weather strips for the top and hope to get them on next weak.
Seat give me trouble with battery. If I leave the bladder pump hooked up battery goes dead over night. Unplug it and it holds up fine. I think it is in the seat switch.
Don't get around to great yet from my major back surgery last October but getting a few things done. Can't hardly wait for all the swelling to go away so I can get my jeans on again and get under my Bumble Boogie. Frog lights are on my list, on the shelf two years now.

hello everyone,
I have a '93 coupe that was recently creamed while parked in my apartment complex. The contact was enough to push the rear of the car up and over the corb along the passenger side. I'm waiting for the insurance adjuster to come out and look at it, and get the word on whether they will total it or what.
In preparation of it being totalled, I'm beginning to search for a replacement. Depending on what they will give me for it, I'm considering putting it towards a c5. I found a black 97 for $19k. Was just curious if there were any common annoying problems among c5s. Such as leaky tops on the coupes as is common among c4s.
Thanks.
Adam

C5 waether strips leaking
Any advise on installing targa top weather strips? I had a local body shop install my halo strip and they did a totally horrible job. I will remove it and redo it if i can save it.

I have a small leak on the roof weatherstripping above the driver's window. I had to replace the weatherstripping & chose aftermarket pieces versus expensive GM pieces. It only leaks in heavy rain when the car is parked. I carry a towel.
