i also noticed the rear wiper wiggled like mad so at each knuckle of the wiper blade itself i taped around a few times with black electrical tape, for the most part it eliminated all the rattle.. however the back window squeaks over bumps and whatnot, im still hunting a way to fix that (the nipple on the latch rubs against the metal which makes it squeak)
hmm thanx for the ideas i will def have to try out the pillow stuffing idea on mine when i can get some .and i just went and tried that electrical tape idea but will have to test it tmrw..great progress and thanx for the info

i'd leave the emblem up front alone, it is a godd eye catcher.

"jet" emblem? i thought the Olds emblem was of a rocket (like rocket ship), named for their line of "Rocket" engines back in the day (like the "Rocket 88")?

I think it is a rocket.. my bad lol.. it has a better ring to it since the "olds rocket" engine... makes sense to me...

however, my emblem looks like a 747 jet lol
