chrome trim for convertible at back near trunk
on the convertible there is a chrome piece that goes around the rear section of body, when you put the top down that a cover goes on to go over the top. the chrome piece is loose on one side I grab it and pull it back but it doesn't stay. was thinking of giving it a tap with a rubber hammer to get it on better, is there a clip or something under it that's missing or is it just my luck.

1963 bonneville Safari rebuild
Hello Chris,
I did not realize or remember this was a 6L80E build. What are you going to use for a transmission controller with your Gen 3 LS engine? Probably not the original Gen 3 P59 powertrain control module . . . ??? Maybe an E38 PCM??

front turn lense glue removal
Pictures? I'd use a hook shaped pick tool to loosen the sealant by hand. Gasoline? Might be too harsh for the shiny finish such that it might not be shiny again.
And the gasoline vapors are a little to explosive for me to use it like this.

No turn signals on 1960 Bonneville
Hello Willy,
The dome light could be a blown fuse or a blown lamp. If equipped with hazard flasher lights, do they work? Have you looked at the lamp contacts down in the lamp socket to see if they are rusty and not making good contact?
Definitely get yourself a wiring diagram. Look for the flasher relay and you might go ahead and buy one - they are not expensive. Clean up the lighting grounds at the rear and front of the car. If we fix the external turn signals, I think your dash signals will probably respond correctly.
