Default New Vette Owner

My name is Kerry and I live in Rowlett, Tx. I have always wanted a vette and now that I'm over 50 and my kids are grown, I finally purchased a beauty! It is a torch red '94 LT1. It only has 52,000 miles and the black interior is immaculate. With a 14 year old car, there are a few issues. The driver side headlight bounces a few seconds when turned on and sometimes doesn't open all the way. When I turn the lights off I can still hear the motor running after the light has flipped. From reading your forum, it sounds like it may be a plastic gear or something. Also, the power antenna doesn't retract. The last thing is the seal around the back hatch has separated on both corners. The car runs great and the first thing I do when I get home each day, is look for an excuse to take it out! If anyone can help me with information to fix and buy parts, I will appreciate it. Great site!
