Auto Body and Interiors

There is no specific answer different car makers go to more trouble than others to stop rust and so this means some brands go rusty faster than others. Fait for example use to be terrable for rusting out really fast don't know what they are like these days tho. However if you take any car near salt water it rust faster than if you don't. There are things you can do to make any car last longer tho, you can have the pannels taken off by a pannelbeater and they put like a wax type product on the car, this seems to make a huge difference. Hope this helps :)

Probably not. It may be worth the five or six dollars to try.

== black is really a cool color to spend your money only when you can take care of it like your baby. yes it means, that it demand care. go for black only if you have the enthusiasm to take care of it. green is not a cool color but, yes, it demand less care. happy motoring.

Lighter colors reflect the sunlight and dark colors absorb it and become hot, but little of this heat is transmitted into the passenger compartment, so it shouldn't make a lot of difference. Unless you mean like, "Cool car, Dude." Then, definitely go for something small and black. White, or silver. Black is the worst color to buy if you want to stay cool, and Black will show every little thing on your paint job, like scratches, dents ,dings, and dirt. Silver is the best color you can get. green, black absorbs heat That first answer is way off, the heat transfer through conduction from the ambient summer air and the heating of the surface from radiation on a black cars roof is phenomenal,,,, that roof can well past 200 degrees on a hot summer day. If you dont think so put your hand on one this summer and see. Buy a motorcyle...Cool and cool. Black is a bad color for cars heat wise. I know I own a black car and it shows any speck of dirt and scratches. If I wanted to be cool green is a good color.

Usually robots, but sometimes a human or two can.

If you can hear a clicking on the door - then you know the fuse, switch and circuit are good. = = You need to open up the door - and using a bulb tester or voltmeter - test at the motor to see if you have battery power when the switch is operated..

If you dont..then its a relay fault or break in the wiring inside the door somewhere ( unlikely but can happen )

If you do get voltage ( battery voltage ) - then the fault is either the motor itself or the motor is jammed or the workings...

Try the motor then off the door - but remember it wont have the load of the window - but try it... if it doesn't work - then you need a new motor and mech.. Check to then, that the window runs smoothly up and down by hand. For more information go to www.fixtor.com

It's easy. To remove the shift knob, grasp it firmly and twist it counter-clockwise, like you would the top on a bottle. That's it. Nothing fancy.

You don't need to, The disc pads will remove it instantly as soon as brakes are applied.

It depends on how badly. Some body shops have equipment for straightening bent frames. If the metal has actually buckled, the repair might involved cutting it out and welding in a new piece. That procedure would be a job for a real expert, if the result is to be safe. The cost of frame repair may be prohibitive in some cases. And your state's laws may require a salvage title on the result. Your regular backyard mechanic will unlikely have the dimension specifications information for a vehicle's frame. Specialized equipment is required to carefully pull a bent frame back into manufacturer's specifications. A backyard mechanic might cause more damage to the frame and weaken it if it is not done properly.

None. Only other models of Corvair, greenbriar, Lakewood wagon etc. proprietary to the model.

my answer to this question comes from my own problem with my 93 Lincoln mark VIII. the wheather stripping around the rear glass had severe dry rot, and the only way i could replace it was to remove the rear glass. the wheather stripping actually is grooved to sit under the glass, thus the sealant holding the glass has to be removed.

Having your vehicle's interior reupholstered can range from under a $1000.00 to well into the tens of thousands. It all depends on what you are wanting done and what materials you wish to use. Most of my work is done on Street Rods and classic cars and I would guess that the average cost is somewhere in the $4500.00 range. Materials can cost between $10.00/yard to $75-80.00/yard. Then you have to consider all the material that isn't seen such as seat foam and sound and heat insulation, not to mention panel boards for making door panels. Then one must decide upon the "Look" that you are going for, Do you want an original looking interior in your muscle car or would you rather go with something more modern with build in DVD players and subwoofers? I even installed fish tanks in a car once. It is nearly impossible to give a quick answer to this question as Custom Interiors are just that "Custom". Your best course of action is to find a local shop and simply ask questions. Most shops will have no problem spending a little time with you to give you a rough idea of what it will cost to perform the services that you are wanting. Take in magazines with pictures of interiors that you like, though don't expect them to simply duplicate someone else' work. Make it your own with your own ideas. Don't be afraid to make suggestions of things you would like done. Go to several shops and repeat this process until you find a shop and crew that you feel you can afford and will do the job you want.

Door : 4x6

Rear : 6x9

in old cars bumpers was made of steels and other heavy metal materials

nowadays polymer composites are use in this field because of their Strength and Lightness

TPOs( thermoplastic olefins) are good example for this case

at the other hand, the importance of polymers is their "memory effect"

we can call this effect "the polymers Secret of success"

polymers have memory like a Spring

after an accident, when the impact makes bumpers deformed, the plastic bumpers can return to their previous shape

memory effect and lightness is just two of the benefits that will convinced us to Farewell with metal bumpers

go to fueleconomy.gov for answers to all consumer vehicles gas mileage

remove the plastic trim covering the 4 mount points, 2 front / 2 rear

the plastic trim is clipped on, so requires motivation to remove

(be careful for the front middle, as mine snapped away from the clip & i had to use epoxy to glue it back together)

remove the 4 T50 torx bolts

remove the 3 wiring connectors at the base

use the knob on the side to move the seatback forward as far as possible

lift the seat out :)

Our sense of smell only smells each different smell for 7 seconds

Rub it with a rag dipped in Goof Off. -It will NOT harm the car paint.

When activated it also closes the contacts with the battery + to starter motor.

That's a good question! I'm thinking take it to the repair shop unless you want to entertain chopping up your interior to get to the doors internals.

Because steel that isn't protected from air with a coating like paint, oil or grease will bond with oxygen to form iron oxide, which is also called rust.

depending on how deep the scratch is, thiers not a good chance of reversing the damge reasons being it is a hide off an skinned animal. try talking to a local buisness that specializes with leather products, he/she may have a more stable answer for you.

Depends on where you go and where you live.

Don't have a diagram for you, but the pump is behind the back seat. Reach under seat on both sides and pull until bottom of seat comes up. Remove the seat belt bracket, and slide seat back off of the bolt. Pull seat up, and the hydraulic pump should be exposed.

Yes, a 2000 GMC Jimmy hood is compatible to a 2000 Chevy Blazer. This is only on the S10 Blazer though.
