    Ordered some 20mm weather stripping to go along the top and side, can see alittle day light looking up through it inside the car so just being ready for rain. Rained past 2 days held up fine so far.

      Got the weather stripping tape, won’t stick to the rubber, so going to use the 3m weather stripping silicone and just go over the stripping with fine layers of silicone to build it up.

        It’s coming along pretty good with the silicone, ran out of it. Got some coming this next Friday.

          Turned out decent, don’t know if it leaks though, had snow on it a couple of days and no leaks.

            Found a write-up for moving the windows in more, shoe box on one of the V8 websites. It rained and snowed past couple of days and they leaked a bit so hopefully this works. Probably do it next week when the weather is better.

                Going to try this shoebox method on the doors tomorrow, got a big storm coming in so don’t want my interior soaked. If I don’t get it tight enough I’ll throw my car cover on until I can get it not leaking.

                  Got the drivers side done the pictures on shoebox weren’t pictures of my 1996 Camaro. I loosened the 2 bolts at the top of the window of the door and moved the window in about 1/8”. Broke the window crank handle trying to get it off, ordered a new one. Will do the passenger side when I get the chance, knee is killing me see the doctor again next Thursday. Did the passenger side too. The bolts I adjusted isn’t doing much, going to try it again tomorrow.

                      Found a write up on LS1 tech, will try again when the weather clears up. Drivers side leaked pretty good last few days.

                            Looks like the rain got on my drivers seat there’s white residue from the top running down to the seat. Going to use some upholstery cleaner on it, hopefully it gets rid of it. Supposed to rain tomorrow night so I’m gonna use my car cover and try to reinforce it so it doesn’t blow off. The wind is horrible up here.

                              Cleaned up the drivers seat, Meguires upholstery cleaner worked great, covered the car with my car cover hopefully it doesn’t blow off in the 30yards of bushes this time.just found my cable and lock for the car cover and put it on. Cable run under the car and attaches to each side of the cover. It’s not going anywhere.

                                Mechanic stopped by, no adjustments for inward on the glass, he said he remembers on convertibles there’s a adjustment but not on the coupe. Didn’t charge me anything so that’s good. Said the passenger side looks better than the driver side. Said maybe try more weather stripping silicone along where it’s not sealing. Thinking of backing it in so the driver’s side is facing the house since it’s the worse side and just using the car cover more, especially when it rains or snows.
