When I bought my 85 3 years ago, it came with a brand new (in the box) GM top. Within a year, it had 2 small cracks forming a V along the right side over the passenger seat.

I haven't used it on my vette, but I've used the black rubberized bumper spray paint on several cars window trim. The finish is spot on and it lasts much longer than other sprays that I've used.

On the driver's side, take time to remove the alternator and move the smog pump out of the way. This will give you room to get the valve cover on without forcing it.

I had some rubber grommets that I sliced in half. Any rubber line that you could get thin enough would work. You need pieces about 1/8 inch thick. What is great about this rattle fix is that you...
