Thanks `Keane for being the first to post & share.

It's going to be interesting if members post on this thread to see if certain year Monte's have same or similar things to be fixed. It's great that your problems aren't serious & hoping you will be able to correct them >Good Luck<

Seats been out for a long time, clunks and squeaks have been around for a while now too. Shop said without tearing the suspension apart they don't know what it is. I've never looked into it myself, just been dealing with it.

Nothing major mostly just cosmetic things for me. My headlights are really rough and have some scratchy stuff on it that need to be sanded and a ton of paint chips all around. My dash lights are also a little dim on the sides and some of the lighting on the console are out.

Hi `John and thanks for your post & Vote. I heard tooth paste works good on headlights. Use a cloth and rub it in..I seen someone do it and it did a decent job. It's a inexpensive way to clean them up. Good Luck!

I will say mine falls under great condition. There is always something to improve so to me it's never A+ even though she does win at many shows the way she is

Resonator heat shield collected water and rusted so an exhaust leak developing. Will probably just do a delete when the weather gets warmer! Other than that an A
