Working on my new web page. Occasionally someone does not know how to install it into the switch. Looking for a close up picture of the steel piece going into the switch for my new web page.

LOL!
I just bought one of those from you too!
Tell me how it goes in the switch and I'll shoot you a nice photo of it !

I have one. Mine wouldn't stay in the switch until I filed a little notch into it. Maybe I'll go out and take some pics. It's dark, so they'll be flash pics.

Way to go Top.... Making a great product even better. Fiero folks remind me of Mcuyver. We can make anything work - We Drive Fiero's!

Pat

Are you going to get the credit card checkout issue I had resolved?…

Thanks for the close up. I know they tend to fall out if it is windy. I have been telling people to coat the end with some clear silicone. That should make them stay in.

Mine wouldn't stay in at all. Maybe the switches aren't all the same. But the notches fixed it, so it's fine now.

Does that explain your nickname, (TopNotch)??

Rodney Dickman's Fiero Trunk Light Eliminator
http://www.rodneydickman.com/ -> exterior -> trunk light eliminator

It works for the models that have the light switch incorporated into the latch... I can't use one - on my 85, the switch is a push-button on the left hand side of the car.

It's a good thing to have if you have your car in a show, with the deck open the whole time to show off the engine, and you don't want to run down your battery.

I see, I guess ive never noticed if my 87 gt fastback has a light. So the light is located on the lock mechanism? and i guess im not quite clear on what the tag(remove before flight) is for. Does it (the metal clip) act as a current for the light, and when pulled out the light goes off? Lorin

The light is in the trunk itself. The switch is on the latch. The "remove before flight" thing just pushes the switch lever so that it opens, the same way it is pushed while the deck lid is closed. The hook wedges between the switch lever and the switch body.

Oh i get it now. Thanks for clearing that up. Lorin

Rodney's device looks really cool and adds a certain flair for car shows, but I have a timer on mine that it just shuts off after 5 minutes or so.

I've also seen Fiero GTs with "Remove Before Flight" plugs in the GT exhaust tips. I thought that was an amusing touch for the show.

I have both, although my RBF tag is an actual one off of an aircraft. I found it at a swap meet while attending the St. Louis show back in 2000. The small tags on my exhaust tips were purchased at the Strategic Air and Space Museum...they were intented as zipper pulls for luggage. I have plastic plugs that fit the tips, and there is a cord that attaches to each side, keeping them together. The pull attaches to the cord.
