Dave, sorry for the delay. Family issues kept me from working on the car. I cleaned the switch, reinstalled it and set the adjustment and that now works fine. Thanks for your help.

Thanks, Dave. I came to the same conclusion. I pushed the plunger in as far as I could so I believe you are correct. I plan to disassemble the switch and clean it. I've watched the videos and have...

Dave, this is getting weirder by the minute. I removed the tray limit switch from the decklid to check the wires per your suggestion. I had my daughter pull the activation switch and when I pressed...

Thanks Dave. I'll give it a shot!

The top on my 57 won't unlock using the actuator switch. The deck lid unlocks and opens and the tray erects, then nothing happens. I adjusted the tray limit switch and roof position A switch per the...

Sorry for not responding. I don't visit the forum on a regular basis. I scanned the Wayne Rollins article but for the life of me I can't get it to upload here. An equally good source for this is...

Thanks, Dave. I tried to unscrew the 2 pieces but the top half stops before it separates from the screw threads. Still trying to figure this one out.

That's what I thought initially but I don't want to add a recovery tank since it's not original. I just drained some of the coolant and will adjust the level until it doesn,t overflow. Thanks!

When I park my car after driving coolant runs out of the overflow tube. I drained the system, refilled with Prestone radiator flush, ran it for 60 minutes with the heater on, drained and flushed...

Thanks, Finster!
I'll be ordering the seat covers from them this winter so I'll add the vinyl to my list.
Mike

Anyone know of a good source for the vinyl covering the package tray? Looking for red to match the interior. Thanks!

Thanks for the info. I'll let you know if there are no instructions.
Mike

Hi from the new guy!
Just bought a 57 Skyliner. It's currently on the barge from Kent, WA to it's new home in Anchorage, AK!
In anticipation of it's arrival I purchased a full set of decals. ...
