Re: How Hot should your heater be????

mine is warm but its not hot enough to burn your hands, also the drivers side has poor air flow...I got better air flow by blocking the vent near the passenger door..

but now when I crank my temp down to 60 I get full force air...what gives?

Re: Cold feet?

Oddly enough the 96 and up does not have the vents..heat on my passenger side is wasted..between the seat it is hot..my side the seat is cold..

poor vent heat.

I have noticed with this bonneville the heat vents blow out very little air. Are the doors not opening all the way?

Re: window rubber

Re: Road noise

my seals were out of shape, someone had removed them at one point...I have adjusted them and the car is better than what it was..I bought some extra sealing strips and applied to the door frame, this improved my interior a lot...now my doors close without a cheap bang...and a nice solid thud..Good ...

Road noise

We have always drove the buick version of the H body...this is my first bonneville...my question is, why the heck are the tires so noisy on the highway? Can I fix it with some fat mat? also some tard took the door panels off and never realigned the seals on the windows..
