  • Some ideas on my bird's back bumper/hatch.....

    I just noticed for some reason that the back hatch area where it rests on the taillight pieces that there's big gap when it's closed...almost looks like it's not closed all the way but it is. I took a look at some other Firebirds and T/A's this weekend when our MAFBA meeting and all but one had a pretty tight fit. There's about a 1/2 gap on mine :( It's funny I never noticed this gap before..dont think it was there but what would cause it if it wasnt?

    There are plastic clips that hold the bumper/front clip in place. Try to tighten them, or loosen them, adjust the bumper how you want it and then tighten them.

    By the way...On your site(yous pics) whats with the fake smoke and flames?

      Thanks for the reply. I'll try adjusting the clips. The smoke/fire on that one pic is just something I did fooling around with photoshop with a new plug-in I had gotten :D

        Also, you could try adjusting the hatch latch to make it close tighter. It will make closing the hatch harder, but it will also minimize the gap. Just did this on my car today to stop some rattling. Pull the carpet back and you'll see the three 10mm bolts.
