Here is something I have not seen anywhere - I need a replacment spring that holds the trunk lid open. Looked at Year One, etc and never found. Also I have never found black OEM seatbelts for my 78. The front belts are frayed and faded. Only seen replacements and they cost alot and don't look the same. Lastly, any one have luck finding replacement roof drip moldings?

I think ALL the major parts suppliers carry these parts, (Year One, Ecklers, Classic Industuires, NPD,..etc).

The trunk springs are avialable from Ecklers, (Ricks Camaros).

If your springs are weak, have you tried adjusting them? There are 3 notches the springs can be adjusted to. They are on the lowest notch from the factory. Not easy to move but I can get them moved with a set of vise grip pliers.

 

Wow, thanks guys! Last time I looked I couldn't find anything now it appears I am all set. I have a bid on a set of srpings now on Ebay. The spring on the trunk now is broken, not weak. But I have a new, little problem...a mouse!

I went to open the trunk and I see a little brown mouse run across the trunk floor and go down behind the wheel well. Don't know how he got in, I didn't think I had any holes in the car but you never know.

^ I hear they make mouse traps for that.

 

What? And kill my co-pilot?

 

See if he'll do any work in his free time.

 

Ever see The Green Mile? Maybe he's a circus mouse from Mouseville?
