So today I finally bought my first Vette. Its a 1993 40th Anniversary red on red. Pics to come soon. I just found a few small glitches i need to fix. One, the handle on the passenger door (not the one to open the door but the bar there) has come undone at the top. Any ideas on that would be nice. Second, passenger window''s window-roller-upper-stopper is messed up and the window rolls up WAYYY too high (to the point that the leading edge of the window clears the weather stripping). The last issue is I NEED to redo the weather stripping. If anyone has any ideas, tips, leads, I would greatly appreciate them.

Welcome. In answer to your questions, I''d order an Ecklers C4 catalog right now. They carry nearly every piece of trim to restore your car plus gobs of aftermarket trim and go-fast parts. You have to search and be certain you are ordering for the right year and so forth but they will have the parts to fix it right.

You''ll probably buy a lot from them over time.
