check your interior screws
 

yesterday I had a chance to do some interior cleaning and decided to check and make sure the visible screws were nice and tight. Turns out a hand full were so loose they were about to fall out! Took a screw driver to all of them and made sure they were all tight.

That is good advice for ALL Nuts and Bolts on the LT5 as well including the oil pan and water pump :thumbsup:

So true Kevin. I did an interior conversion this winter and the halo trim screws were already backing out.

that's the one that was almost falling out on mine. also found one that was stripped out on the PS rear hatch trim. I know what I'm looking for at carlisle

Yeah a bunch of mine were gone when I got the car. Found some at Sears Hardware that look almost the same and bought several in different lengths to replace. While they aren't OEM - unless you are a NCRS judge you wouldn't notice...

And, I found a loose nut behind the steering wheel...:p:p

I had a big vibration that appeared and the car wasn't happy in the curves. I wasn't sure what happened, but I didn't like it at all and all sorts of bad scenarios went through my head. Then I discovered one of the windshield header bolts that holds the top on had come loose...very loose. Tightened that back up, vibration gone and car is solid again.

pretty sure we all have that issue

A small dab of silicon sealant on the threads will help keep them from coming lose or corroding.

My problem isn't loose screws. When I do a project (say like wiring in my cutout switch) I always seem to have a couple of screws left over. Been doing that since I first disassembled a lawn mower when I was a kid. Anyway it still ran. Never did figure out where they went. --Bob
