89RedDarkGrey Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Hopefully- the manifold vacuum has been enough to hold it down tight. Try to remove it while running, at idle and 2k-ish RPM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisWhewell Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I hit a deere recently, messed up the black polymeric housing in which the headlamp resides pretty badly, like broke into pieces. So, I got some steel window screen and cut several appropriately-shaped pieces of it and used them as reinforcements for the epoxy I'd had to use in several places. Amazingly, all the holes lined up to where they should !! So, I recommend reinforcing the epoxy, kinda like the screen acts like rebar. I wonder how it will hold up to the Texas heat.... we'll find out come april. Maybe I should be concerned how it holds up in the cold.... we'll find that out pretty quick here...

dship Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I believe at least the 89-93 Riviera's and all years Reatta's are compatible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
