has anyone had good luck with a wiper motor rebuild service? 
 
any recommendations?
 
does anyone have one or two original trim rings?
 
I have 3 good ones and 2 crappy ones.
 
what about an original high note horn? 
 
and door lock knobs?

I am looking for replacement springs for my rear bow latches on my decklid.
 
they both seem soft which makes the back of the ragtop come undone occasionally.
 
I cant seem to find them in any of the catalogs.  anyone got any ideas?  of has anyone got a good spare set

the wiper motor is solved.

the trim rings are solved

door lock knobs are solved.

bow latch springs are solved.

I still need a high note horn.

I need someone to post a picture of a door jamb with original door guides and water diverters in it please.

Vette(s): 1982 C3 Collectors Edition 44000 miles, sat in the sun most of its life, My wife purchased it for me for Father's Day in 2007 from her girlfriend that had it for 19 years. It is on the road again. I'm retired but it is now my daily driver.
Send this guy an email he may have what you need vettsteve@aol.com. 

He is a lifetime member but does not get on the form much anymore.  His side business is C3 junk yard and rebuild.  Lots of off the wall items.
