Hello All, I am finally tackling the top on my 76, and I have a few questions. 1. How do the hold down cables route through the top mechanism. I have new ones...

Hi All, Really enjoy reading the e-mails - from time to time I jump in. I have a question - Does anyone know how to change the "idiot" lights on a 74 Eldorado....
Remove the top dash pad and they will be accessible. I know what your next question will be... ... -- Joe Foerster North Hollywood, CA http://bobnjoe.com/car/ ...
You have to very carefully remove a lot of dash stuff to get to the lights. Most of the bezels have exposed screws. I would always recommend getting a...
Harry, I learned a trick on how to get at a majority of those idiot lights quite by mistake without a lot of effort /worry to remove top dash. I removed the...
Hi Tom, Thanks for the comment on our new Eldorado. I have not heard about the Friday night cruise on the 19th Oct? Send me some info or point me to a web page...
Tom, Once again I amaze myself by finding solutions/tricks to problems by random luck rather than skill. I am trying a new fix for this old nagging problem. I...
Fellow Members, The repair described below is working. The visor is reinstalled and I drove around a couple times and used visor and it now is staying in ...

Memebers, Anyone know where I can get a new power relay for the auto dimmer on 76 Eldorado. It is was located on driver side interior firewall above floor...
Are you sure it's the relay that's the problem? They rarely go bad - The more likely culprit is the amplifier ("eye") behind the grille. Make sure it is well...
OK, so the time has come that Miss Margarita needs a knew "do." That is, she needs a new convertible top. Her current top was replaced ~20 years ago, as far as...
Joe, I just replaced the top on my 74 Eldo Convert.. I shopped around, price with a glass rear window ranged anywhere from 1000 to 2300. I found a guy that...
Joe, You have already made a mistake, in my opinion. I have been driving convertibles for 30+ years, so I have had a few tops replaced over the years. YOU...
Well, I'll have all of the main parts / materials, and mine came with the parade boot, so I've always had that. I just hope I can find somebody knowledgeable...
I actually debated that, but the shops I've talked to around here all wanted to use a canvas material (exterior) which is a no-go for me. The top I ordered is...
Joe, you just need to come out here to SoCal for a little vacation and let miss M visit Convertible Service or the Top Shop. You can lounge on the neach while...
Road trip? Oh, if only! :D Yes, suggesting canvas rather than the OE material for the top was an indication. And not a good one! I figure if I can find a shop...
Hi Group, I am going to be selling my beautiful 1978 Eldorado Biarrtiz Custom Classic, and wanted to see if anyone in the group might be interested before it...
Joe, What I am saying is that after the top is installed, if you have any problems with the way it fits or looks, if the back window breaks or rips shortly...
Oh, yeah. I know! One of the risks, though... ;) Joe-Boy ... any problems with the way it fits or looks, if the back window breaks or rips shortly after you...
Joe-Boy Thanks for info. It's the relay. I can't get headlights to switch manually. I have temporarily bypassed relay by plugging in directly to floor dimmer....
If the relay was in question, my next suggestion would be exactly what you did - Bypass it for straight manual control. The connector is the same and, in fact,...
