rockfangd Posted December 22, 2006 Report Posted December 22, 2006 hi everyone just thought i would ask a few questions.. anyone know how difficult it would be to fix a gas door on a 94 cutty because it never shuts all the way and it looks aweful, i hink they were poorly manufactured. And also does anyone know what would cause the driver side headlight to blow every few months? maybe something i do not know about possibly, i checked the wiring and pulled out the whole assembly to show no cracks water or anything, thanks in advance to any comments Quote
Dirty Rockstar Posted December 22, 2006 Report Posted December 22, 2006 I dont know about the gas door, but what i did on my 87 6k was just replace it.. I spent a couple months trying to bend it back into shape.. Didnt work too well I was having the same problem with blowing lights.. I have COmposites lights, and the seal was broken from a previous fender bender.. Water kept getting in there, and the lights eventually fractured becasue of the water on the bulbs.. I taped over the problem areas for now and will be getting a new headlamp assy. soon! Quote
ToroToro Posted December 23, 2006 Report Posted December 23, 2006 If the actual door just doesn't sit with an even gap around the edges, you can loosen the two bolts and move it around until it does. If its something with the hinge, take the plastic shit off around the filler neck ( just screws ) and you can get at the bolts for the hinge to replace it. Quote
rockfangd Posted December 24, 2006 Author Report Posted December 24, 2006 thanks i did not know hat. is this a common problem on these models as i see quite a few with the same issue? Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted December 24, 2006 Report Posted December 24, 2006 Ive never known that gas door problem to be a common issue... Quote
ToroToro Posted December 24, 2006 Report Posted December 24, 2006 Nope. I just had problems with mine after it got sideswiped in a parking lot. Quote
rockfangd Posted December 27, 2006 Author Report Posted December 27, 2006 also by chance if anyone knows how to take the pin off the driver front door.. it is the device that holds the door i 3 positions and prevents it from opening too far.. i know how to take the bolt off the body but i do not know how to take the peice out of the door. the pin is worn out so when you open and shut the door it makes a snapping noise Quote
dcjredline Posted December 28, 2006 Report Posted December 28, 2006 I have these same 2 problems with my 93 Lumina. Gas and drivers door. Quote
rockfangd Posted December 28, 2006 Author Report Posted December 28, 2006 ad well look at what the idiots before me did. there was a little ice buildup between the door and the fender so instead of being easy they crunched the fender, ever since then its never been the same. but if there is a benefit i fixed it to where i can open the door more than half way. check my pic in [attachment deleted by admin] Removed to free up storage space.

rockfangd Posted December 28, 2006 Author Report Posted December 28, 2006 that pic is after i did all the prying and yanking. lol and when anyone touches it just right it rubs the door and crunch!, you can barely fit a feeler gauge between the door and the fender. it is one of my spring projects. just like the gas door which i will post a pic tomorrow Quote
