    antenna ground

    Just went through this a few weeks ago. If the motor keeps running and the mast isn't coming up or down then, as already stated above, the mast ribbon is broke.

    rear window shattered while driving

    Thanks GNRick, I saw that after I got home this morning. I don't really care myself if that is the only deviation. I wonder if the electrical circuit plugs in the same location? Its hard to find any info on this.

    rear window shattered while driving

    Still haven't got the glass fixed!!!! Gave the last company several weeks to find a heated rear glass panel. They showed up last week. As the guy was getting ready to cut out my old broken piece he stopped and said let me check something. Comes over and shows me that the replacement wasn't a...

    battery power drain

    I appreciate all the replies men. Apparently it was a lot of unrelated problems that just happened to occur at the same time. Needed a new battery since the antennae killed the old one. Replaced the plastic mast in the antennae which immediately broke. It actually split the brass metal on the...

    battery power drain

    I need some advice on where to start with this issue. I drove my 87 GN a few days ago and it ran perfectly. No knock, nothing. Just Buick perfection. That night I went outside and heard a loud buzz click coming from the car. Turns out the power antennae was making noise. I have owned these cars...

    rear window shattered while driving

    Thanks for heads up. Weird that two shops and the insurance company would all mention that I need the trim new. Like its magical or something. I'll get on the phone and see if I can straighten them out. Appreciate the help.

    rear window shattered while driving

    UPDATE I need some help. After waiting several weeks for the shop to get my used rear glass they called and stated that they were still looking for the "trim". Gave them about two more weeks then started calling them and couldn't get a call back. Soooo I called my insurance company and told them...

    rear window shattered while driving

    Another update. The shop called and said that they have the used glass but need the "trim" to install it and that they can't find that anywhere. To me trim means the outside decorative parts. He described it as multi piece gasket type material that he said was destroyed when they cut the glass...

    rear window shattered while driving

    Just an update. Car still not getting repaired as the company couldn't find rear glass with defroster. Finally found a used rear out of a MC SS so just waiting on that. Going to spend the full 250 deductible. The insurance will pay the rest. Sigh.

    Thanks neighbor. I'll let the shop know about it in the morning. My rear glass was tinted but I wasn't using the defrost.

    rear window shattered while driving

    Yea it could have been. I've been in a car shot up with 40 cal rounds before and it makes a hell of a lot more noise coming in than a pellet gun. Didn't see those two guys either!

    rear window shattered while driving

    No sign of BB or pellets. But no way of being sure. No one was outside that I saw and an elderly woman was directly behind me with her windows rolled up. Wasn't that hot and I had the ac on at least 15 minutes by then. Just had new tires put on and they were riding smooth as silk. No pot holes...

    rear window shattered while driving

    Weird. I was driving my 87 GN down a smooth road at about 30 mph when the rear window just shattered. No sign of foul play. There's no rust and I have the extra bracing and bushings. Tires are brand new and I was thinking how smooth they ride when it happened. So apparently no one makes these...

    Rear disc brake conversion kit.

    Are the instructions available on line somewhere for this kit? I couldn't contact the seller on ebay for some reason. The price looks great considering new aluminum drums are about 250 a pair.

    Fuel pressure issue connected to ac fan speed?

    My 87 GN started showing fuel pressure dropping with the engine running so I put in a new pump. When I first start the car the pressure is low, just like the old pump. So I put in a new filter, didn't help. Put in a new hotwire kit, still didn't help. Rebuilt regulator, but still having issues...

    Fuel Pump Relay

    I believe its on the passenger side inner fender. It should be the first relay towards the front of the car.
