Default Few Issues id like to sort, info needed

having just bought my first camaro i have a few issues id like to sort and the more info the better

my list are
  • drivers side door glass about 1/4" gap along top and down the screen pillar where its not touching the seal.
  • problem with wipers- fast speed works fine but on slow they jam and when the stop they stop half way up the screen
  • high beam light on dash not working
  • front tyres scrubbing on lock
The first one ive seen a post on here with a video so i should be able to sort that when i have a few hours spare to adjust the glass.


second one problem with wipers, wipers seem to have a mind of there own, what could be the problem here? the motor?


Third one the dash light should be the wiring or bulb in the dash?


And last the tyres, i have American racing tt2's 215 or 220 Tyre on the front i believe, qa1 adjustable shocks, cpp lowering coil springs, the cars quite low buy my tyres have had the tread scrubbed off the outsides, when i turn or full lock they scrub, is this just the wheel alignment needs sorting or because its been lowered?




any info appreciated

1: take the door panel off and adjust the glass to fit. It's a pita, but take your time and you will get it right.
2: do a google search. This topic has been covered many times.
3: check the bulb first. It's easiest/cheapest to fix. Not the bulb? Make sure there is power to the circuit board. On the back of the gauges is a printed circuit board. They wear out over time. Check that next.
4: Lowering spindles, not lowering springs, are the way to go with the first gens. Your tires are not abnormally large, so it's likely to be the springs.

thanks for the reply,

i managed to sort the high beam light, it was just a bad connection with the bulb

and about the tyres scrubbing, whats the best way to put the car to stock height? change the spindles or change to a full size spring? the weathers been really poor the last 2 weeks here so im yet to jack the car up and check it out properly underneath
