I did it twice i think ill wait awhile before doing a third time. Everthing on the car lines up and open and closes perfect. T-tops fit and look leveled. Its wierd that if frame bent you think you would see it. Its like the weatherstrip went higher. But i measued my passenger side and junk yard cars and it measures the same opening but top of door to weatherstrip is higher.

The windshield mount seal has a littler gap then the t-top seal. The top of the vertical seal on the back of the window has mybe about the same gap as t-top.

I Silicone both t-top weatherstrip mounts. The two seal that are like double sided tape went bad and leaked. The weather strip looks different like left or right on the ends. I even switched passenger and driver t-top seals and still same gap.

Yeah it goes up there.

As far as my eyes can tell I don't see a crooked roof. T-tops look fine and latch good no leaks up there.

ok so if the window is going up all the way on the front guide then the front is pretty much all the way up. can you adjust the back any more up?

Thumbs down

Damn careless sloppy shops -- had the same thing happen with BOTH my Camaros. One fixed it, the other paid a damage claim. You have to babysit and watch everything shops do -- they never treat your car as if it was their own.

I get the front to work that going past the factory marks tho. For the 5 inches in front of the t-top to the back im hitting the max point that there's no more adjustments.

Yeah they are careless I seen so many in the junk yard that has it smashed, its like they dont check where the jack is. Then they mess something up under there and dont tell you about it or tell you they found a problem and have you pay for what they did. Then hope bending it back right dont brake metal or fiber glass.

check the rollers and runners to make sure they are all in place and the arms are not bent or damaged.
