Hello for a Newbie!

Dear Florida 'Vetters

I'm new to the forum and wanted to introduce myself.I'm in Miami Beach and I purchased my first 'Vette a few months ago. It is a 1993 "vert-Triple White (but the previous owner replaced the white top with a black one which I will change back in a year or so). The car has about 70,000 miles on it and it is mechanically sound. There are a few issues that I want to correct.
I posted an issue dealing with driver's side wiper blade lapping over the A pillar. If anyone has a fix, I'd love to hear from you. I've reset the arm as low as it will go and I've put a 1 inch shorter blade on also. It's still lapping-and damaging the A pillar.

I LOVE my car. It is a welcome addition. I look forward to meeting many of you personally in the future.
Thanks

Bob

Hi Bob,

to the site.

I also have a White '93 vert., black top and black interior. I truly enjoy the ride. I just bought it in Oct. of 2006.

I will have to watch the wiper action to see if I have the same problem. I don't use them much. On the highway the rain just beads up and slides off. I use the Flash Wax Grape Gloss and it works great.

Look forward to meeting you at a future event.

I think you'll find a great group of people here. As for the windshield wiper blade problem, hopefully someone will have some ideas for you. Might be tough, as I get the impression that a lot of people just don't drive their vettes if there is a good chance of rain. Some may not even know how to turn ON the windshield wipers.....

Thanks for stopping by, and hope to see you a regular here.

Hello and

to the site!! Good luck with your wiper problem. Someone should be able to help you figure it out.
We'd like to see some pics of that vette, though!

Hi Welcome to the Forum. I would suggest going to a local corvette club and ask around. There's got to be a resource there for you and a great referral to a shop that will get it right the first time. Welcome again. Mark

WOW!!! What a warm and wonderful welcome from all of you!!
I really appreciate all of you taking time to say hello and introducing yourselves.

I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone in the near future.

I too don't drive my 'Vette in the rain unless I happen to get caught in a Florida sun shower. I did by a driver though not a show car. It is sound mechanically, but has a few chips and nicks here and there. I do love her though!!

I will keep a watchful eye for an event to attend so I can meet people.

In the meantime, Thank you all and Happy Motoring!!

Bob

Nice looking ride you've got there (in your profile).
