Gotta say my C20 has only let me down once when my project truck was in need, that being an inner fender. So everything else very cool, hardware included. A personal favorite was A/C retainers I didn't know I was missing. Most recently I prepped my ash tray housing only to find one of the plastic tracks was chipped. Still works, which is more than I can say for many components in that C20. Love driving it, sometimes the wipers even work

OT, I think the ashtray housing tracks are installed like the dust covers on front of steering wheels, 71ish steering wheel anyway. I forget the process, but they're a melted plastic rivet of sorts.
