When I got out of the vette I noticed - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Corbusa · 11-28-2011

A little tear on the drives side of the seat where the seat controls are at . Its about a 1/4 inch , but enough to make me say s*it. I guess this is a normal wear point for a 20 + year old car.. Would you trust a standard upholstery shop? I am trying to keep the car as perfect as I can until I get'er paid for , then do any and all the customising..
Oh and 2 other questions, Has anyone here used the rear window drain kits? ( where you drill for drain tubes to be put in the corners of rear windows )
and do they make a setup ( plug and play) to use the CD in the car without need of the antenia being raised ? ( why GM didnt put the antenia in the winshield I'll never know). duh Thanks

I put the drains on my '90 and they work very well. I'm sure the NCRS boys would have a fit but mine is not stock anyway....

The previous owner installed the drains on our 89 and they work fine when I wash the car however I couldn't tell you about rain

I took the 89 (far from stock) to a NCRS event with a buddy of mine. Before I left I ask them what I won... They were not amused

Yeah I installed them on my 96' Grnsprt and they worked
Great. I probably will install them on my Z as well.

one of the major parts houses has the antenna thing...can't remember which one

That would work great for a piece of crap I-pod/MP3 adapter on the stock radio.
Why someone doesn't come up with a kit that you would plug into the antenna adapter is just beyond me. Maybe it is time to by a aftermarket head unit and install it is the beast.

Forget the drains, why put more holes in your car? Just swipe your wife's turkey baster when she's not looking, works great!

I have a permanent garage turkey baster now because I kept using it to R&R brake fluid etc.

I have a switch on antenna to stop it from going up/down or you can leave it as factory
