    GRAND PRIX Current best brand of window sweeps etc. to repair doors

    I realize that the subject of window sweeps has been beaten to pieces. After YEARS of putting up with almost gone window sweeps, I'm finally going to order a set for my '82 Grand Prix! It was recommended to me to buy Steele Rubber Products like this...

    GRAND PRIX Factory Center Console Repairs

    Got a factory center console from someone YEARS ago that came out of a '79 Grand Prix for my '82. Recently I FINALLY got it all cleaned up and installed an arm rest on it that was found on eBay years ago as well. The carpet was gone on the console, but was able to find some on eBay, but when I...

    GRAND PRIX Door and ignition lock cylinder set

    My '82 Grand Prix is needing new door locks and probably an ignition key cylinder as well. Are the new AC Delco ones worth looking at or has the quality of them went downhill since a lot of AC Delco stuff is being made overseas these days? Or are any of the aftermarket brands worth looking at...

    GRAND PRIX Trunk floor rusted out at left rear quarter panel

    The rear window on my '82 Grand Prix was leaking for over a year and I unfortunately forgot all about it! The trunk floor has rusted out where the rear quarter panel meets it. Is there a repair panel available that will match the Grand Prix? Have only found one that fits a Cutlass. The body...

    GRAND PRIX Possible 3.8 V6 Replacement

    My '82 Grand Prix's original 4.1L V6 engine apparently was replaced before I purchased it. The car's odometer was not working when I got it, so not sure how many miles are on her, but it does say 101,623 now. A mechanic figured out that the current engine is a 3.8V6 as when he was going to...

    Dash Light Sockets

    My '82 GP's dash has some of the lights flickering in the area where the turn signal lights, brake light, and seal belt light cluster is located. Have had all of the light bulbs replaced in the dash years ago. Am wondering if the bulb sockets are the culprit. If so, I do have some sockets...

    Overhaul present carb or replace it?

    My '82 GP came from the factory with a 4.1L V6 with a 4-barrel. Someone has changed the engine (I had a mechanic check the numbers on the engine and the VIN and they don't match) to what is believed to be a 3.8 V6. A lot of the emission hoses have been blocked off and some parts for that...

    '82 Grand Prix Temp Gauge Reading Too Hot...

    Have done what most everyone else has done. Replaced the idiot light cluster with a factory gauge (white needles) cluster in my '82 GP with a 4.1LV6... Don't know what year of Grand Prix the gauge cluster came out of, as I got it on eBay. The sending units were replaced for the "new" oil...

    Need new GM temp gauge for '82 Grand Prix

    Had the idiot light cluster changed to a factory gauge cluster (black faces with white needles) I got from eBay. Had the gauges bench tested before having the oil and temp sending units changed. Now the temp gauge goes to 260 degrees most of the time. The mechanic changed the thermostat and...

    Current Quality Brand of weatherstrips/window sweeps kit

    Am in desperate need of weatherstrips/window sweeps for my ’82 Grand Prix. Have done some research on G-Body forums and found discussions about them from a few years ago. Some said that Soff Seal and Steele Rubber were good. Others said that Metro was junk and now they’re better w/ Soff Seal...
