Re: hatch question....

Yes it should. I believe glass piece is same for every year, they never changed it. Be careful when tightening top four bolts on hatch. Too much torque will shatter glass when driving over bumps, etc. I've attached instructions from mannual on how to reinstall rear glass and spoiler/trim piece. Shows four bolts near roof (bolt #25 in diagram) and trim bolts (#34) to be tightened at 124 lb-in (10.33 ft-lbs). I would tighten bolts in small increments until you reach right level, then go back and check torque one last time.

I know it was the 90's but teal color never got me excited about a camaro.

Re: hatch question....

No problem. Pages are from Helms shop manual. Highly recommended as it shows how to take apart and reassemble everything. Also has error codes with diagnostics procedures. Don't waste money on a Haynes or Chilton manual. It is $75 for your year. Not bad since mine was $120 for 92.
