Firebird V8-5.7L VIN G (2001)
1.
The T-top rail weatherstrip is movable in the retainer and should be adjusted to only slight interference on the front and rear edges. The pressure of
the closed glass will increase pressure on the joint once the glass is closed. Too much interference will cause the butt joint to pucker and provide a
water path. Refer to Figure 13.
2.
Adjust the door glass to obtain sealing in the butt joints. Refer to General Information on Door Glass Adjustments later in this bulletin.
Condition
There is windnoise and/or water leaks from the front or rear "butt" joints (T-top models).
Cause
The T-top may have been installed improperly. Refer to Figure 14.
T-Top Installation Procedure
When installing the T-top panels on the roof, keep the outboard edge of the panel raised about 8 cm (3 in) above the roof while placing the inboard edge
of the panel under the center of the roof. After the inboard edge of the panel is in position under the center roof rail, lower the outboard edge of the panel
into the weatherstrip on the body. Close the latch and lock the top. Refer to Figure 15.
