Hello, In my experience, when you need to find something out about a car, forget the repair shops and dealerships, the people to ask are forums like this.
I took on helping my father-in-law with his 89 Firebird.
I've already rebuilt the pop-up headlight motors, tore down the steering column to fix the turn signals, and rebuilt the power antenna with a broken inner cable.
If anyone needs to rebuild their power antenna, get the inner cable out of a trunk power antenna from a Buick from the mid-80s.
Easy to find and no rust issues.
That's what I've messed with on it thus far.
The next can of worms I've opened up is the classic issue of the rubber rear spoiler rusting out.
I already removed the old spoiler.
Does anyone have a source I can check into for a new or used fiberglass aero wing wrap-around spoiler for a better price than $400?
The best I could find was $365 off eBay new plus freight plus finishing and paint.
If anyone knows where I can get one cheaper, perhaps used that is already Firebird red, all the better.
Thanks.
