  • t-top adjustment...

    I've been searching for a while now and can't find any information on how to adjust the t-tops... The one on the driverside makes noise every time I hit a bump in the road. Is it possible to adjust it to make it stop making noise???

    Same type of thing happens to mine but I have no Idea. I just ignore it or turn up the music more. Besides with the warm weather comming soon I dought my t-tops will be in very much.

      Install subframe connectors. They will eliminate almost all creeks & rattles that are common with camaro's & firebirds.

          dude, this is what u should do/try. take off the top. remove the screws holding the molding to the car. there is a 10mm or 8mm nut in there that u can tinker with and move the assembly around. loosen it, take it off it u want to. careful when taking it all off, i remember it being tricky when i put it back together. so maybe dont remove it. so mess with that. use your noggen.

              Mine does the same thing. I am looking at subframe connectors with the strut tower support.

                  This actually belongs in the Suspension category, but...
                  K design SFC's are about the best you can buy. Bolt in's are easy to install, but weld in's offer (by far) the best all-around stability.

                    I found that if you take the top out and the A-Pillar trim off you can adjust the "Pin" bracket, with a little patience my top is now squeek free. Probably took me 10 minutes tops.

                      Is it like a sqeaking noise? Because I've been getting a sqeaking noise coming from behind my left ear when i hit a bump and it pisses me off.

                        Go to HomeDepot...spend $2.50 for a bottle of silicone spray.
                        Spray all weatherstripping with silicone. That could do it.
