It's really nice to have working struts for the rear glass. Frank is great to deal with. The only delays are the postal service, but good things come to those who wait.

All good suggestions, also check the newspaper links for the houston Chronical, St. Pete Times, West Palm Beach Post, and Atlanta Journal Constitution. I have seen some goods deals on all of these sites and they are not linked to any general sites like cars.com.

Ok I got the message. Sounds like Mike is the guy.

Who do you have do your service in the Miami area? I was thinking about getting my timing belt and water pump replaced, along with some general maintenance. Do the dealers ever run specials? Thanks.

Be sure the title is clean and not a salvage, as this will have a significant effect on the price and any resale. You may want to run a carfax. I did see a 92 Black for 17,000 with a clean title and 99k miles. I was going to buy sight unseen (1200 miles away), but it sold in a matter of...

I sent my glass struts off last week. Frank seems like a great guy to deal with. I am looking forward to their return.

Check the car carefully. I think that car has been for sale in the Atlanta paper for a few months.

Awsome. Thanks a lot.

They have arrived. Any instructions?

I just checked, and there is no shim in mine. It is too bad because that probably would have been about right. Any other ideas?

I did see the shim in the service manual, but I am pretty sure it is not there. I will check when I get home.

I did not see any kind of spacer on the latch that connects to the trunk lid ("upper hook"), or removing the spacer would have been perfect. I do not believe the rubber stoppers are the problem because when I apply a little bit of pressure to the middle of the trunk lid, both sides follow...

No, let me clarify. I do close the trunk lid by applying pressure to the center of the lid itself, and it does latch into place. However, it sits about 1/8-1/4 inch too high in the back. The problem seems to be that there is a little bit of play once the trunk is closed, so that if I then...

My trunk lid closes and latches well, but it seems like it is about a 1/8-1/4 inch too high. If I press on the center of the trunk lid where it latches, then it goes to the perfect position. I looked at the latch last night and I do not see a way to lower the latch mechanism, so the trunk lid...

I had a similar problem several weeks ago, but things work out in the end, and a better car will come along. Just keep searching, its half the fun anyway.
