You know it's hot in the midwest when this happens!
Sorry for the late reply, but here's how I fixed it. It's holding strong so far, but the heat has dropped off a little here in St. Louis so I haven't put it to the true heat test again yet. The first two pictures are again just close-ups of the old adhesive showing how it came apart. It took...- bdelass

No damage to the glass that I can see. Hopefully it's an easy fix!- bdelass

Good times! Came out to the parking lot to find this today... Thought it had been broken into at first until I saw the problem....10 year old Dodge window adhesive is no competition for the St. Louis heat! So at this point I was kicking myself for replacing the stupid "hatch shocks"...- bdelass

New Owner of a B/W '96!
Just did the same thing to pick up my '02 GTS... Flew to Orlando. Drove home to St. Louis via Highway A1A on the East Coast and the mountains of North Carolina / Tennessee. It was a blast! I put 1400 miles on the car in 2 days. The previous owner had put 1000 miles on it in the past 4...- bdelass

Need advice PLEASE - considering Gen 2 purchase
I guess I will chime in here too... I've owned (in this order) a 1997 GTS, a 2008 SSG SRT-10 and currently a 2002 GTS. I went back to the Gen 2 primarily for the body style. The Gen 4 was just never "my" dream car in that regard. Going from 600 HP to 450...yes, you can tell the power...- bdelass

how to remove GTS stanchion?
If you know a VCA member (assuming you are not one yourself), I believe their is an article about this very job in the newest Viper Magazine. So if you can talk them into borrowing their copy of the magazine, you should be good to go.- bdelass

best way to get wires through the firewall?
Perhaps this is what you were talking about, but you've got two grommets on either side up near the black plastic cover at the bottom of the windshield. Easy access to the interior! Unless the wires are too big or depending upon how you need to route them, these might work. This is what I...- bdelass

2002 gts stereo upgrade complete: Pics & write-up
CEJ: I don't know if the head unit has a cross-over (I don't think it does, but I haven't had much time to play with it yet), but the 4-channel amp does and that is what I am going to be using to separate the mids & highs. Jeebs: So far so good with the 6.5" subs. I definitely like that I...- bdelass

2002 gts stereo upgrade complete: Pics & write-up
The finished product! I just realized that I forgot to snap any pictures of the door speakers installed or the rear subs. With the exception of the small "K" on the kicker tweeter, there is virtually no difference visually. All speakers installed with factory screws and under factory grilles...- bdelass

2002 gts stereo upgrade complete: Pics & write-up
Running wires... The Kicker Component set for the front doors fits so well that I decided not to re-use the backing plate for the tweeter. I used the plastic lock nut that comes with the Kicker set to tighten the tweeter into place, but removed it because once I snugged into place I couldn't...- bdelass

2002 gts stereo upgrade complete: Pics & write-up
A litte prep work to get the car ready...sometimes you've got to make a mess before it all comes together again! Check out the sweet condition of the rear factory rear speakers when I pulled them out. It's a wonder any sound was coming from them at all!- bdelass

2002 gts stereo upgrade complete: Pics & write-up
More pictures to come, but first the details... My goal with this installation was to create a great sound system upgrade while not leaving much in the way of visible modifications. (i.e. only the trained "Viper eye" could tell that anything had been changed.) I didn't want to fill the hatch...- bdelass
