I am in need of an alarm module (fits under dash) for a 1991 Reatta. Surely, someone must have a parts vehicle with a usable used one, or possibly a parts house has a new one? Please advise. Thanks, Charlie uwcharliet@yahoo.com

Help! The top of the ratchet, (where the end of the cable is withheld) is sprung. What I mean is there is a two prong fork which is supposed to grab the end of the cable, but the cable pulls through. Not much more than a spot weld will fix the problem, but the difficulty is:: HOW IN THE HELL do you remove the ratchet? It appears to be completely disconnected (I have a factory diagram), but my mechanic cannot get it out... It is like the frame was built AROUND the ratcheting device. HELP! What are we doing wrong, Even removing part of the dash won't release it. The "book" at the local Buick Dealership calls for 2.7 hours labor, but I cannot find a copy of the procedure to get the damn ratchet out. Thanks.

I will try this new $99 source for my 1988 Reatta coupe that needs cluster repair. I will report back on this thread regarding my experience.

Have one. Seattle.

And you are located where?

Scrapping 1990 coupe. Other parts are available, but I know Good Reatta glass is difficult to find.

Needed for my 1988 Reatta: - Complete working instrument cluster. * - Working monitor. * - Sunroof mechanism. (What model Mazda is interchangeable?) * Exchange available or rebuild mine.

A fellow on craigslist is looking for a 1990 headlight switch. Who has one? How much? I stuck my neck out to help the fella and told him I could help him out...

Compare the GM part number to "rivie's" of the same era.

Rust? Glass? Electronics? Thanks. Charlie

Still for sale?

SLO = San Luis Obispo, CA? This looks like it is worth a look for those who want the touch screen. I am still looking for another 1991.

I have to compare all 1991's to the Scapoose OR 1991 coupe listed here this time last year which I took to Van Nuys in June. One owner, always garaged and serviced, 72K, $3100. I gave it to my wife when she used some leverage on me, and wonder why I can't find one like it for myself at the same price...

Interested if still available. uwcharliet@yahoo.com

I was beginning to believe this could be a $3500-$4000 Reatta, but if it DOES need a paint job, there goes $2000 off the top.

I live near Seattle. I bought a 1991 in Scapoose, OR a little less than a year ago, and a 1988 and 1990 since. I will be putting the latter two up for trade or sale soon, and since my wife submitted me to considerable leverage I gave the 1991 to her and am looking for one for myself. I am interested in your vehicle, but have to tell you the one I bought in Scapoose was a one-owner, with 72,000 miles and was always garaged...and cost me $3100. I took it to the show in Van Nuys in July, and although everyone agrees I stole it, you will have to drop your price before I drive East to pick yours up. uwcharliet@yahoo.com

I believe all Reatta headlight switches are all identical to Rivieras (but not necessarily used the same year). The problem is getting the right one. Others in the group have more knowledge and can assist.

Greg, On my coupes, I can trip the latch from the inside by going through the access panel to the trunk behind the seats and squeezing my fat self in, head first with a flashlight in my hand. Dunno about 'verts, but it seems like getting it open is your first objective.

Do you still have it?

Running into cash on 12/20. Tempted to fly out from West Coast, but Holiday travel is probably booked.

Whoa! If someone beat me to it, I want to know. I will research it as well.

SMH? Do you mean to say the owner was a stupid meat head?

On Houston Craigslist: Ad says 1991 but it is a 1990. Owner tells me it will go to scrap for $200 if not bought soon. Would like to see someone in the area grab this one. Caution: This vehicle is not native to TX. PM me if you would like me to share with you my correspondence with the owner.

I would feel more comfortable if it was at a GM dealer rather than at a "Liquidator". For some reason this has been on CL for about a month. It is thirty miles away from me and a twin sister to one of mine. If I get down there this week, is there any interest in what I find out?
