    RT10 top leak solution

    Have you tried tightening the top? Take a 1/4'' drive rachet with a 10mm socket and remove the hold-down clamp. You should be able to move the c-clip one notch to tighten the top. It worked for me.

    RT10 TOP ISSUES

    Based on a suggestion from my Camaro's owners manual I use dielectric grease on the rubber where it meets the body on both my Viper and SS convertable with excellent results. Cloud bursts are no problem but 4hrs. of steady rain may bring a few drops in. Make sure your front latches are adjusted...

    rt/10 leaky top ??

    Hi John, I have a 94 with a 97 top. I've drove in gullywasher downpours since I moved to Florida and no leaks. I belive the secret is something I got out my Camaro SS convertable owners manual. Dieletric Grease. Per their advice I put a thin coat where rubber meets the body. So far so good.

    Soft Top Question

    I live in Florida and use my soft top all the time. Like anything else practice makes perfect. I was heading to Miami last Saturday for that Viper meeting, coming across Rt. 75, when I had to stop and put the top on for some HEAVY rain. Took two minutes and didn't get one drop in the car. Love...

    ARRGGGG!!! Gen.1 glovebox issues

    I've had my car almost 8 years and every other Gen 1 owner that I meet has had trouble every now and then with the glovebox. Part of the character of the car I guess.

    Who would of thought.........

    Only two of us were from the West coast, the rest drove over from the east coast of Florida. The club tries to be fair about where events are held.

    Went to a South Florida Viper club cruise and get-together today in Naples FL. Out of 15 Vipers that attended I was the only RED RT/10. Who would of thought that could happen.

    side sill on curb(Shoot me)

    I did the same exact thing a few weeks ago, even did it at a banks drive thru window. Some body shops I talked to wanted to use filler.I finally found a guy that reworked the aluminum and it came out PERFECT. And he was the cheapest price. Moral: Not all body shops are created equal.

    Softtop Adjustment or Weatherstrip

    Get the re-designed 96 soft top. Big difference. If not that at least get the adjustable hold-down levers.

    Arrow rebuilt poll

    My 94 was Arrowed in 1995. I've put about 15,000 miles on it since then. It runs great and I see no green drops but boy I see the dried tracks under the heads on the block.

    Wanted: 1994 Viper Soft Top! Please!!

    The 94 soft top is a piece of junk. If your going to buy a top go with the updated 96/97 top. Like night and day. My 94 top sits in the storage area. I wouldn't sell that air leaking, hard to use top to my worse enemy. Just my two cents.

    Im wet! Pls help!!

    The owners manual on my new Camaro SS convertable suggests using Dielectric Grease on all rubber gasket surfaces on the top and doors. I tried it on my 94 and water leakage was just about eliminated. Thank you General Motors for a $2.00 dollar solution that worked.

    strange noise

    My 94 sometimes makes a "pop" noise when I back out of the garage and turn the steering wheel to the right. I looked it over real good, top and bottom, but found nothing wrong.

    While changing plugs No. 1 will only go back in halfway. Tried a sparkplug chase and a proper size tap but no success they stop halfway also. Scared to death with this aluminum. Any ideas?

    engine temp

    I used Water Wetter once and about two days later I lost the passenger side head gasket. Yes, I know it probably was about to go anyways but I've never used it since. I live in Florida where it gets pretty hot. I run just to the left of straight up and the way I do that is that I burp the system...
