What do you dislike the most that Cadillac has come out with or used in one/all of the models produced??? [sm=bicker.gif] [sm=icon_beat.gif]

 

Going back how far? vinyl roof? although that's not caddy specific. What did you have in mind?

 

Anything really, doesn't matter how old or how new. There isalways something that is a pain in the butt design or just junk. One of them I would have to say is the Vinyl roof for sure. I have to take mine off n repair it in the spring sinceI have other projects this winter, one being rebuilding the carburetor, but thats just a general maintanence.

 

Almost any repair on a 76-80 Seville. RWD HT4100 thermostat housing, AIR pump belt adjust/replace. 2.0l Cimmaron. All the new ones where the front bumper has to come off to change a light bulb...there a start...

 

Getting a dent in a rear or front bumber parking sensor is not fun. It always stays on. You have to take the bumper off to get to it to replace. Do we really need these things?

 

The fact that you have to remove the intake manifold on the 3.6L to change the thermostat. And they call this "progress"

 

From Steath's brake fluid flushing the Allante bosch / teves ABS post, It qualifies

 

hey, it wasnt funny .. then .. but now, a few years later, you have got to admit its funny.
I still remember the hose coming to life ...

Got another one .. Allante 4100 engine pouring/leaking coolant from somewhere between the engine and the firewall. I understand there is a small hose or pipe back down there .. but how does one get to it w/o pulling the manifold? IF I gotta pull the manifold, the car is getting parted out.

Yeah, I think they could have given more room for the shock boltsin the rear of'76 Coupe De villes (& whichever other year that uses the same frame)so you don't have to use a die grinder to cut the damn bolts. Thats the reason I haven't gotten the new shocks in yet, I dont want to stick my big hand it a tiny spot with a grinder & not seeing what I am doing. Ineed my fingers for the rest of my life.

 

During my time in the lands of snow and ice the gas wrench was the tool of choice, of course dirt had just been invented a year or two earlier and fire was a new techoledgy....
