I have noticed you work on a good bit of cars, i was curious about el caminos, and the rare buick gnx's. Of course i understand why there arent any gnxs because of how hard they are to recieve, but i just came across this channel and honestly its a true lifesaver, thank you for being an overall gbody guy and not classified to just one type of gbody, helps everyone wiggle around the differences between the cars.
Thank you loads. I have a 87 Cutlass 2dr. I started it yesterday and rolled the window down, i had to pull it back up, my dad's idea is it needs lubricated, i thought it was in a bind. I was scared to break the panel and you just helped me a lot. Thank you. Now I'm gonna go find out what's up with her.
Could you guys do one on how to change the cowl seal. Not the hood to cowl seal, the one that leaks in your passenger floor board. That would be great. I have an 87' SS Monte.
So glad I ran across this video. I have a 78 el camino and I just got new lower door panels. This will definitely help me. I also subscribed as it looks like you have a lot of info on the g body cars. I see you have the 4 speed malibu as well. Mine is a 4 speed too.
MrVigor47 Thanks. I don't have a video on removing a door but the trick is to support the door along the bottom with a floor jack and long piece of wood. then unbolt the door from the hinges and remove the door. Then change the hinges and reassemble. Two man job. Don't try it yourself.
It is absolutely cold out I actually started the project today ever placing all my door rubber and got my door panel off I can’t get the window quite down enough to reach two of the screws that’s holding the outside felt on any suggestions
There is a window stopper on the bottom of the inner door frame that you have to remove the single 10mm bolt. Then carefully drop the window down and you can then get to the screws to remove the trim felt.
Dude, You know what you need to do? Show how to install a new adjustable mirror panel retainer trim. I replaced my panel, but there was not a panel when I bought the car (1984 Grand National) Now I cant get the adjuster and trim in he lower panel
haha yeah I saw it was a while since you left that comment. Its easy to do. Pull the top and bottom pane off, remove the window stop at the bottom of the door frame to allow the window to come down further and you can get to the screws for the felt trim. Hope that helps for now.
hi Brian i recently purchased a 1981 cutlass pretty much a plain base model but it has a 5.7 diesel with 48,000 orig, miles garage kept for 25 years been outside under trees until june , no rust shockingly , do you have much experience working with the diesel's from this era ?
Are those two felt pieces at the top all that i need to replace to fix a wobbling/rattiling window? or are there other things that i need to change out too. Mine rattle all the time except when the window is in the full up position.
Could be the weather stripping on the top of the door and door panel or there are felt pads that wear or plastic rollers in the track. Need to check all that.
I know you deal with classics and Originality in appearance but I need to clear 24" rims on 85 Cutlass. What coil springs can I use. Please help thank you
Hey man been lookin for a video where I can remove my back seat for my 81 monte carlo and open my trunk cuz I lost my keys for the trunk lock, I don't know how to remove the seats
Hey Brian, have you ever had a car that both rods fell off the outside handles and couldn't get the doors open? I am up against this on my 79 Cutlass. At least I believe that is what is wrong since the doors won't open.
Yes it is possible or the latch itself has failed. You will have to remove the door panel with the door close and reach inside the door and open it that way.
I have a question that would be greatly appreciated if you could answer. I have a 1979 monte carlo and it needs two panels. They are above the tail lights inbetween the trunk and lights. looks like 2 rectangle pieces that are missing. Any idea? it has the center piece and everything else.

Idk what they are called.
I have a 1983 Buick regal Its not a limited I think its just the base model It has bucket seats and a console shifter It has the 252 4.1 ltr Were could I get carpet for it?
I have a 84 g body and I problem with my power lock and I don't have turn signal and brake lights and I have slow transmission leak in front and all my gauges don't work PLEASE HELP ME
Check the grounds to all of your harnesses and as far as the trans leak, wipe it all down and you can then see where it is leaking from. I also have a gauge rebuild video. Check my channel.
On my 87 Monte Carlo SS. My window stopped working. Tons of Smoke started coming out through the window switch into the car. My passenger window still works. What could it be? What do i need to replace??? Thank u
Pull the door panel off and find out what fried. Sounds like the window switch went bad and good thing your car didn't burn. Fix it right away or it might burn.
Hi I wanted to know if you know if any body who wants to sell a g body cutlass 84-87 with tee tops and the one's with a straight trunk not the one in the video but the one straight trunk?

Thank you loads. I have a 87 Cutlass 2dr. I started it yesterday and rolled the window down, i had to pull it back up, my dad's idea is it needs lubricated, i thought it was in a bind. I was scared to break the panel and you just helped me a lot. Thank you. Now I'm gonna go find out what's up with her.
Glad I could help out! Thanks for watching.
The power window switch normally is wired to the motor I would assume. Your switch must use WIFI or Bluetooth to connect with the motor. Technology!
love the how to video. i was the guy that asked about the rally gauge cluster i ended up doing it and it turned out really good
Very cool!
Excellent video sir.
I just bought a '79 El Camino and I couldn't figure out how to take the panels off.
Thanks again 👍
Awesome, glad my video helped.
Dude same I'm trying to replace my window scrapers on my 79 elko, what colors yours you might be in a group chat I'm in 😂
Great video, very helpful. Can you show how to connect or replace power window switches.
Could you guys do one on how to change the cowl seal. Not the hood to cowl seal, the one that leaks in your passenger floor board. That would be great. I have an 87' SS Monte.
shondell67 I need a video for that cus my 85 cutlass does the same thing
Very easy, gotta replace the interior door handle on my car thanks!

MrVigor47 Thanks. I don't have a video on removing a door but the trick is to support the door along the bottom with a floor jack and long piece of wood. then unbolt the door from the hinges and remove the door. Then change the hinges and reassemble. Two man job. Don't try it yourself.

I was wondering if you could do video on how to replace the window felt on 85 Cutlass supreme Brougham
Window felt video coming soon! In the process of making it but damn its cold out! Thanks for your suggestion.
It is absolutely cold out I actually started the project today ever placing all my door rubber and got my door panel off I can’t get the window quite down enough to reach two of the screws that’s holding the outside felt on any suggestions
I actually read some of the other comments I got that part figured out thanks much man love your videos
There is a window stopper on the bottom of the inner door frame that you have to remove the single 10mm bolt. Then carefully drop the window down and you can then get to the screws to remove the trim felt.
Advice for popping off a window crank if you don't have power windows?
Window crack clip removal tool. There is a clip that holds he crack on.
@@ClassicGBodyGarage I ended up figuring it out, pretty slick! Appreciate the reply though!
Dude, You know what you need to do? Show how to install a new adjustable mirror panel retainer trim. I replaced my panel, but there was not a panel when I bought the car (1984 Grand National) Now I cant get the adjuster and trim in he lower panel

sorry , jennifer is my wife , im jim
I have never worked on one. I would swap it for a gas as the early ones had head gasket issues. Probably a reason it was parked.
Are those two felt pieces at the top all that i need to replace to fix a wobbling/rattiling window? or are there other things that i need to change out too. Mine rattle all the time except when the window is in the full up position.
For the cutlass 86 it never been on it before

Pull the door panel off and find out what fried. Sounds like the window switch went bad and good thing your car didn't burn. Fix it right away or it might burn.
Classic G-Body Garage thank you for the response. I will open it up soon and see what cooked in there.
The switch shorted to ground and probably blew the fuse
