88 Allante issues - any hints?
Just bough a really nice 88 Allante. I noticed a few issues right away. Looking for help or ideas on how to resolve.
- Floppy sunvisors: Sunvisors won't remain in the lifted position and flop down while driving. Looking at them, it appears that the rubber tips on the inside of the sunvisor shafts are dried out and worn so that the inside of the tip easily rotates on the shaft, and the outside of the tip easily rotates in the retainer bracket. Anyone know of replacement rubber tips? Any ideas on how to fix?
- Low washer fluid warning on DIC: Warning present even when reservoir is full. Somewhere there is a sensor for this. Where is it? Could the sensor be bad? If so, any ideas on where to find replacement?
- Casette door won't open when eject button is pushed. Any idea how to open it? I hesitate to pry on it. (Not a terribly big issue since tape casettes are obsolete, but it annoys me).
I'm sure I'll find more issues as a drive the car. When they pop up, I'll post on this forum.
Thanks in advance.
