Re: Questions!!

1 Make sure that it is the glass and not the door out of alien if it is the glass then you can take the door panel off and there are adjustments on top of the door that will move the glass in or out and at the bottom of the door there are 2 other adjustments they are stops if you roll the glass all the way down you will see them that will move the glass up or down one on the front and on at the back

2 I dont know of any adjustment for T tops you may need new rubber?

3 If the hatch is to high then you can remove the trim panel on the rear body panel and adjust the latch down to fit

4 I am not sure about the bumper are you thinking of thr rebar that is behind the rubber cover

Re: Questions!!

To answer the bumper question, I read on here somewhere that aluminum Firebird bars will work. HOWEVER the Firebirds and Camaros have different shapes to their bumpers and are not interchangeable.

As mentioned, check the weatherstripping before touching anything, it's not very often these move out of adjustment.
Here are some images of the T-Top retainers so you can see that they are adjustable.
