Figured out why the backup cam wasn't working, turns out the reverse lights were also out since the wire came out on the ground to the switch I installed. I am sure it was when I got annoyed with the center console side piece coming apart and decided to give it swift kick to pass along my displeasure. Got it working but didn't feel like fighting with the sides of the center console while cramped in my garage. Hopefully I will get it down the shop one of these days to wire up and install the power mirrors and do it at the same time. Still kicking around installing a new popper system since mine is bound to stop working at the worst time
While I was at it, this has started to come loose on both sides and is really annoying. I am guessing it is the wrong size screw, what size is it really supposed to be?

It looks like it's the right size. Most likely the screw holes might need to be delt with as over ther years they sloppy loose just like a cheap woman. I've used light thread locker to hold them in.
Appreciate it, had a feeling you would be the one responding hahaha. Good thinking, I will wait until I do the power mirrors then
Do yourself a favour and don’t use those pull straps to close the doors. The screws that hold them to the doors just self thread into single layer sheet metal and pull out quite easily over time as you’ve just found.
Use the recess in the arm rest, it’s much stronger. You can reuse the original screws but you’re going to have to repair the threads where they’ve pulled out.

Not only that but those cute little snap in escutcheon plates that cover up those screws are only held in by small square tabs that die and break off, RIGHT NOW!!

I didn't do anything to my Gbody, but I spotted a fellow G-Body at the intersection with his hazard lights on. Pulled over at the gas station and helped him push it to safety. I don't know why he wanted to push it across the intersection instead of into the gas station directly to the right, but I ignored his request and took command of the situation lol. HIs buddy pulled up, thanked me, and tried to give me $20 for helping, but I said no...it's cool, and he shoved it in my hoodie pocket anyway lol.
Yeah, honestly I usually have the windows down so I actually just pull the door shut with the outside of the door. I believe a buddy I let drive may have pulled it with that though
You're preaching to the chior, although I did get lucky. When I opened the door at the shop it fell off and I looked around for it for a while but couldn't find it. A few weeks later found it out there looking like this. Still haven't got around to fixing it back up yet
Was cleaning the garage and realized I had most of the hardware to mount the Jack in the stock position. Had to run to Ace to get the wingnuts but otherwise it was all there.
