Weatherstrip at top of stanchion

[northcuda]

Don't know if this is covered somewhere else, I have looked around for it, but I'll post this so someone can direct me if it is elsewhere. The little 90 degree pieces on the top of the stanchions on my car are loose, one is actually off. Is this common (96 GTS), if so, what is the fix? Thanks in advance.

you're screwed. gotta buy a complete new stanchion. but there are a few guys who tried to fix it, not sure how well it held up.

a new one thru tator was like 300 or so

Have a look at this thread. All questions will be answered.
Are you familiar with the term "Viper Tax"?

First time I heard the term Viper Tax, but I understand fully the conotation. I priced a remote for unlocking the doors, it was more than the daytime running light module. Guess because the module goes on lots of other models.

Ye$, it take$ $ome getting u$ed to, but there'$ not much of an alternative.
About the DRL, I deduce that your car is a US model?

Yes, the car came from Michigan, but fortunately the wiring harness had the plug for the module.
