@@VetteSource Hey, Brian, I don't think you coulda done it anyway without scuffing up your knuckles and getting slapped with an NC-17 rating for excessive blood & gore!🤣
Glad this popped up in my suggestions! I'll be watching this later, cuz I DO need to remove my panel. I'll let you know how it goes. Once summer comes!!
Hey Steve, that is correct. These are the base 1SA seats that came as standard equipment in all 94-96 Corvettes. The 1SB sport seats were the ones with the wavey stitch pattern, and the Corvette emblem embroidered into the headrest. They were also equipped with the lumbar controls, which the base seats do not have. I believe they were a $995 option if I remember correctly👍.
In '92 and '93, there was an option for Arctic White leather adjustable sport bucket seats. They were expensive, being a $1,180.00 option. On the ZR-1, though, the Arctic White leather was a no-cost option as far as I know.
Everyone will have different experiences with door panel hardware but I prefer screws I can't stand plastic push pins they constantly break constantly pop out every time you open and close the door then panel constantly rubs sticks against the pillar thank God my 85 Corvette uses screws and they always stay and I replaced all my screws with stainless ones no rust or corrosion.
Joseph, thanks for the suggestions. Not a bad idea to use the stainless hardware. The C4's used the screws along the bottom edge that you mentioned up until 1993, then switched to these push in plugs. Unfortunately, the cutouts in the door and panel are different on these years, so there isn't an easy way to adapt screws to them.
The real reason I can think of as to why they switched to the push pins cause it was cheaper to and the door panels were different as well so maybe easier for use of the pins but I still don't agree with it. But it is what it is.
Wish you would have shown a close up of pulling the lock switch slider up and out JS
Hey Randy, sorry about that. I wasn't thinking about it when I mounted the camera🤪.

Thanks, buddy. Happy New Year to you as well👍.
Hi Brian. The seats in this particular 1996, are they standard? I was under the impression that they all had that wavey design. Cheers.

@DJones476 yea, those also had the color matched door panels as well. I see them from time to time, but definitely not a very common option.

like to see a video on fixing the door panel!!
hey Mako, definitely. I have that on my video "to do" list
I didn't know that the door pull was supposed to be one piece
Yep. So many of them have become broken over the years most people don't notice👍.
