Convertible enhancements GM SB # 92-260-10

I thought some of you would find this helpful...

It is the Convertible Enhancements - Noise, seat belt trim, operating and leak issues Service Bulletin.

It applies to all ASC convertibles.

NOTE: the figures on page 8 are now included in the file...

Re: Convertible enhancements GM SB # 92-260-10

Thanks for the information. There is another way to eliminate the rattles and noises from our tops though - PUT THEM DOWN! Its the only way to drive these cars.

Re: Convertible enhancements GM SB # 92-260-10

Hey anybody know where I can get a new switch for the lid release ? Mine still works but the black plastic prongs that hold it in place have somehow broke off causing the switch to dangle by the wires--sucks. Thanks !

You can use a hatch release switch - exactly the same except for the image on it... I've got a brand new one if you are interested...

AFAIK ASC did not update any of the suspension... it sounds like an aftermarket change to me... I know that they use things like that on race cars so that when they pit and jack it up the car they can access the tires faster... The straps specifically is what I am referring to...
