new owner of a 02 Grand Prix 4 door

[john rong]

Hi all,
New here to this forum. Just bought a 02 GP 4 door. Have had some issues with her but I have been a wrench for 24 years so I am slowly learning the ins and outs of this ride. I had the wonderful 1811 come up right after I bought the unit. It has 135,000 on her. Somebody just basically drove it and didn't do any up keep. I flushed the trans., put in a shift kit and trans cooler. I switched over to dexron VI and have not had any problems since. Did a complete tune-up and she runs good. I also ran into the key not turning back all the way. I just carry a small screwdriver in the console and use it to depress the cylinder release when necessary. Not a big deal after you learn the secret, but to those who don't know what the heck is going on, it can be very frustrating.
I have a question for the pontiac enthusiasts. The lot I bought my car from scraped all the adhesive off after they removed the window tint thus destroying my antenna and rear window defogger. Is the back glass the same on 2 and 4 door models? I found a good back glass close to home but it came out of a 2 door. Thanks for your help.

first off welcome im kinda new to here too, and yes rear glass should be the same for both models however there are different years for the antennas, because i know they moved them to the rear window i think after a certain year not to sure. my 97's is on the right of the deck lid witch is defiantly an ugly look i might have to say so i trimmed it. also someone correct me if im wrong but the HUD windshields are different then the regular windshields.
