Diddly squat interior update #83
The windows have flopped around on this car like one of those wacky waving arm dudes at the buy here pay here lots since I got the car and I decided to tackle replacing the peg alignment parts on the windows.
Technically they are supposed to be riveted on but I got impatient and instead of borrowing dads pneumatic rivet gun I just bought some 1/4-20 pan head cap screws and bolted them on with some nylocks.
Both drivers and passengers were broken, albeit in the opposite direction. Windows seem much less floppy now.
I also took the time to attempt to fix my non roll up passenger window with the passenger switch issue and I traced it down to the drivers switch not making ground in its 'home' position. It needs another switch but today isn't the day so the wife will have to ask nicely for me to roll down the window for her for another few weeks, lol.
Another small but annoying detail I solved was getting the door pull screw covers. The covers were missing when I bought the car since the interior was gutted and sitting in the trunk. I kinda panicked because later GP's used randomly a different door panel so my options for replacements were pretty limited, or so I thought. Turns out this shares screw covers with 86-88 Monte SS's, and they happen to be repopped for like $17. Nice! Ordered a set and got them installed. They really help finish up the door panel.
Besides the switch replacement, the door projects are kinda done, which feels good. All the sweeps are replaced, everything seems in alignment, weatherstripping is all replaced. I need to order some new hinge rollers for the detent, and MAYBE putting in some concert sound II lower speaker panels in the doors, but thats low priority.
