Default New guy with a problem

I just got my first Corvette (it's a 98 convetertible)!!!! I couldn't believe it, until I drove it home. There were a few imperfections with it, like worn seats and paint defects. I have a question, I am hearing a metal clanking sound on the front right passenger side of the car behind the airbag :confused: Does anyone know what this is? Thanks everyone, I'll have some pics up as soon as I get a digital camera.

-Jeff

I am fortunate enough that my parents live outside the city by the train station so I take the train home and walk home to drive the car. Do you know anyone that has had a problem or knows how to fix the metal clanking sound on the front passenger side of the car? Thanks.

Welcome to the forum!

Sometimes the screws come loose there. I am pulling the dash to find out my issues.

You live in NY right?...
