    Power window problem

    I have almost the same trouble with mine ! Thankfully, I have dealer installed emergency handles. If you have problems again, grab the manual (finger sized) emergency ring at the lower front corner of the window, lift up and pull to the rear. Instant relief !

    Bad experience, twice with a Viper Parts Vendor!!

    "When in doubt call CHUCK !" Best service on new parts, FACTORY help, and all round nice guy: Chuck Tator! (He actually dove 90 miles one way to deliver a part to Fed Ex to save us about $50 for shipping) Used parts, shop around. There are many vendors. Don(Paul)Scharf Jon B Pacific Salvage...

    Aluminum flywheel advise please

    So you would or not ? My car is at the dealer getting a rear main seal fixed (25k and no coolant leak !). The trans is out and they asked me if I would like to replace the clutch and flywheel. The clutch looks great, but I am wondering about swapping to an aluminum flywheel. I need to let them...

    Aluminum flywheel advise please

    Who has gone to an aluminum flywheel ? Who has the best price on them ? What brand is best ? From a performance point of view, is it worth it ? What difference should it make on an otherwise stock car ? Thanks in advance

    Leaving car at dealer for service.....

    I have to drop my car off at the local dealer for some warranty work. I am having anxiety attacks about doing this. This dealership does have a Viper "tech" who went to class in 1995, but has not worked on or even seen a Viper since then. Can anybody suggest something that I can do to ensure...

    Michelin Pilot Sports......NOT AVAILABLE

    There are still some out there. Three weeks ago I asked my local Sears store to see if they could get a pair, and they are now on my car. You might try the same thing, I guess they must be warehoused somewhere.

    Top repair : need advice

    DLM for sure ! Mine was broken in exactly the same spot. The material the frame is made of is a non metallic composite of some sort, which surprised me. I couldn't find anybody that would touch it. Doug said he could handle the job, but was overloaded with work at the time. I waited...

    New dash for my gen 1, but.........

    I installed my new black dash kit in my '94 a few weeks ago, what a dramatic improvement ! But now after a few weeks I have finger prints and such all around the glove box area, and everywhere else that your hands might come in contact with the dash surface. The new dash acts like a sponge...

    Customer Service & Doug Levin

    Rock solid service. He personally followed up on my repair with a call a week later to make sure all was well. It was.

    Front end hits- help!

    Doesn't anyone read their owners manual ? Center console, second switch from the left, right next to the fog lamp switch. Toggle back to increase front clearance, toggle forward for anything over 55 MPH.

    umm, got gas ?

    I've noticed a lot of mood swings in my gas gauge. Sometimes it seems to creep down so slowly that I start bragging about the mileage I get. This afternoon, I took the car to town, 25 miles each way. I started off with a little over a 1/4 tank. When I got into town and started dealing with...

    Adding C D player

    I need to clarify that. I am talking about a factory plug-in type installation.

    Adding C D player

    I know I've seen posts on this before, but maybe somebody has new info. I (ie. the wife) wants a CD player. I went to the local stereo shop and asked about it. He looked up the Viper specs in a book they have and said it would only run about $90 for installation, but he couldn't sell me the CD...

    It's not just Tator.........

    It\'s not just Tator......... Thank you Doug Levin. Sent him my (broken) soft top. A week or so later I have it back. Modified, but functional. No BS. No Hassles. Repaired and sent back. Checks in the mail Doug. Doesn't it feel great when the person you are trusting to do your repair work, or...

    Warranty Coverage

    I just noticed a minor spot of oil under my car which has been parked for a few weeks. I don't know if it's from the engine or power steering. Would this be covered under the DC extended warranty ?

    Aiming Fog Lamps ?

    I was following my wife home last night in the Viper. She says that my right side fog lamp was much dimmer than the left. Since they are both the same Halogen bulbs, I suspect that the right side lamp is out of alignment (I was fooling with that side last week). From what I can feel from behind...

    New dash facia

    Just got my new black dash replacement kit. Thank you Mr. Tator ! Apparently quite a few gen one owners have also been ordering from him. I have not opened the package yet, so it may be obvious when I look at the pieces, but can somebody tell me how long it should take to swap it out ? Saturday...

    BACK WINDOW OF RT10?

    Leave it out, it won't even suck rain into the car in severe weather (keep moving). The only time I put my window up is when I'm washing the car.
