82-92 third gen camaro firebird side window adjustment how to

[@kevinlacrosse8265]

You saved the day, haven’t worked on one of these in over 20 years. I forgot about the in and out adjustments underneath…. Thank you!!!

[@anthonyc.5384]

dude you have no idea how helpful this was for my 4th gen firebird. It's very similar.

[@ghstpper180]

Thanks for the video. I was searching how to so the window from wobbling and this video explains it towards the middle of it. Thanks again!!

[@JacobKnightRiderShop]

Many guys on the third gen website dont even know the adjustment for the window is under inside. Good video. Someone needs to make a how to adjust your door gap for third gens.

[@jakobmontgomery471]

Great help! Just got myself an 89 Camaro and had no idea why the window was wobbly. 😂

[@waynew2831]

Great video. Thank You. As a side note, I had trouble with my drivers widow even after adjusting. Turns out, the felt on the 2 window guides was completely worn away. I glued on new strips of felt, works great. Thanks again.

[@joegarcia4766]

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for posting this. I thought the only adjustment I had was at the front triangle piece. Great video.

[@MotorScotti]

Many thanks, as I just got the Firebird repainted and put new weatherstripping in!

[@NATIVEWARS]

Thanks for the video and info! Been looking all over for help with this adjustment for my car and man you saved me a lot of headache and time! Thanks man.

[@derricksimmons5750]

Thanks for the video... the bolts on the inside are the one's that have been eluding me and basically driving me crazy trying to get a good seal, I had all but given up. Wish I had seen this 3 months ago.

[@jeffmayo6002]

THANK YOU. I'm tired of my window whistling since it doesn't fit properly

[@NotoriousREV]

Great video, thanks for doing this. I’d read a description of how to do it but it was all a bit meaningless. This video makes it 100% clear.

[@carloshernadez1971]

best write up I've ever seen

[@transamman305]

Thanks buddy!

[@keilylmm6377]

Nice video. I'll have to adjust my side glass on my 94 TA..

[@siaripop7]

Thanks! That was a great review and you touched on all the key adjustments, although I think a roller came off or wore out in the scissors mechanism which I will find out tomorrow!

[@dust4422]

Good video, I'm just going to my '92 T/A. Can you tell me or show me where the round donut glass stop is supposed to be?

[@jond1965]

Excellent instructions, thank you!

[@daddydoc1115]

Theres about a 1/8th inch gap on the back of my window between window and T top strip which is where I believe I'm getting water in from. Gonna try this and see if it fixes it

[@SolidSnake4Ever2003]

thanks for this vid, mine is really loose on the drivers side and then the door itself doesn't want to close all the way....it sags some....guess I need to take out the old pins and bushings then it won't sag anymore? 1992 firebird I got in a trade earlier...I think it's a trans am since it has those factory honeycomb GTA wheels

[@vickikgibson9470]

You can tell a Trans from a Camaro from the front and back area. The Trans has flip up lights and a flat tail end with no wrap around lights. All the rest of the two cars interchange parts, including the wheels! The interior was also different in the two cars, but mainly in the dash and centre console. Again, seats, carpet etc can all switch, mix and match! They are the same! That is the best part about these cars, lots of ways to make them new, and your style in the mix as well. There were many wheel styles for this era. Mine is the one with the clips that go into the triangle wheel slots, so they could be taken out and painted to match the car. They were also smaller, size 14", where others are 15" rims, which I think you have on your car. Hope that helps!:) And yes, if you put in new door pins, have it done at a shop so they can also raise the door so it sits properly once the pins and bushings are in the hinges. Make sure to do both top AND bottom ! Check to make sure there is no crack on the top door hinge section, as that can be a common problem due to the weight of the long door. Have those adjusted every year if you live in a windy region like I do! Anyway, good luck with your project buddy! Cheers!

[@paulthesoundguy1]

Hello, you should probably mention that all these adjustments are useless if the door hinge bushings are well worn.

[@po3185]

happy to find this before having to mess with mine i parted out 2 of them for rust reason still own 2 rust free that i want to keep for a long time and i beth one day i will need to play with that!

[@AutotuningChannel]

Hi, what lowering springs you install on front?

[@transamman305]

It was a package that tokico used to offer. It came with 1.5" drop springs all around and a set of thier blue HP struts and shocks, but they no longer offer the springs.

[@vickikgibson9470]

So can you do a Demonstration on how to set window forward or back, or tips on how to get that right? I can't seem to get the triangle to sit so the window stays IN the track once it is set on the right angle...or hope it is anyway...! What degree should this window set at? Anyway, love the video, just need a tad more information:) So you adjust the door stops too when window is up, right? Mine does seem to be even thank goodness! :) K, just trying to get some of this, as it has taken 4 hours getting no where . Do you know where to get window plastic inserts for the glass at all? I can't find any here darn it!....THANKS SO MUCH!!! OR JUST EMAIL ME on tips......:)

[@transamman305]

Vicki, you may need to adjust the rear track forward more if it's falling out of the front track. Thats done by loosening the two bolts at the top of the rear track and sliding it forward slightly. I'm not 100% sure what you mean when you say you can't get the window to stay in the track. Does it fall out of the entire front track or just the triangle piece? If you have the angle set right and it's JUST falling out of the triangle piece, you may need to adjust the upper gold brackets with the felt on them. Those will help keep the window lined up with the triangle as it's going up. If the window is coming out of the outside of the triangle, adjust those brackets inwards more toward the interior. If it's coming out on the interior side of the triangle, adjust the brackets outwards more.

[@vickikgibson9470]

@@transamman305 Thanks so much for the help...I have been restoring the car and doing the door glass once again. I will set the triangle where it is supposed to be this time around, then have the window fit into place where it should be with the triangle and the weather stripping. But your help is invaluable, and makes me much less afraid of doing it myself, as NO ONE is showing this properly anywhere online! Go figure eh?? Cheers buddy!

[@vickikgibson9470]

So I followed your instructions, and both sides fit much better when I aligned the glass and left the triangles last. I may have to tweek a bit more, but right now, they are MUCH better than they were before. Thanks for the tips! By track I meant where the triangle holds the glass into place...that can get out of alignment, and the glass then tries to not fit into the rubber parts on the triangle, on track or the weather strip piece. Anyway, it is much better when I just did it last with the glass! Cheers buddy and thank you!!! Oh, and I wish I could find new roller pieces for the part that rolls the windows up and down (scissor mechanism) /Those wear out and can't find replacements for them, darn it!

[@milesczechowski2154]

Nice video. The damn window sweeps come to find are expensive and i need them.

[@paulthesoundguy1]

Window sweeps are 35 bucks a pair.

[@muneercamaro9937]

Thanks for the simple explanation

[@muneercamaro9937]

That triangle is part of the strip. You need it

[@jasonhensley3071]

this year I have on a 10000 mile original 85 z28 is when I have my window down and I shut the door it's loud as hell like the windows rattling around inside the door. Any ideas

[@matthewpagan3851]

What about the lower stop? To keep the window from getting stuck in the door when rolling it down

[@douglaswyczalek401]

Okay i replaced my window sweep on my 1984 Firebird with manual window regulator i tried doing it without interfering with any window adjustments BUT now i got it back together and the only problem I'm having with the door glass rattles (sounds like its down low) when shutting the door with window up or down doesn't make any difference. Not sure what adjustment would take care of that don't want to adjust the wrong adjustment . Do you know what adjustment would fix the rattle?

[@benkalinowski5834]

how do I adjust the lower stop from going down to far

[@NCBWilcox]

How do you adjust the front triangle piece to match the glass?

[@eddievega7106]

I have a 1988 Camaro iRoc and when I turn on my air-conditioner the fan does not come on what do you suggest I check.

[@905Speed]

THANK YOU!!!!

[@bravendirk5122]

Awesome! Thank you.

[@projectbuilds6403]

Awesome thanks for this video!

[@carloshernadez1971]

You man, what kind of seats do you have? they look good!

[@transamman305]

Thanks man! They are corbeau LG1's. Not cheap, but well worth it. Took a 2 hour road trip in them and they were extremely comfortable.

[@johnathancatchings2080]

Where did you get the weather seal that covers the top of the glass on the T top

[@transamman305]

They're actually the original ones that came on the car. But if you need replacements, you can find them on ebay or at 1Aauto.com. They're called "drip rails." They have a rubber or plastic version and you can choose which you want. Mine are the factory plastic ones.

[@piosanchez6998]

Fuck yeah!! Rock on Brother. Can you do a video on the doors? My window on my 88 GTA isn't covering the weather strip like it should and when I take it to a laser car wash I get a shower along with the car lol. Any idea if the window ajdustment would help my case? Or just work on adjusting my doors?

[@transamman305]

If your doors seem to line up with the rest of the body, I don't think they need adjustment. The only thing that really causes the doors to come out of alignment or sag is the hinge pin, so if your doors sag when you open them I'd try replacing that. Other than that, all the sealing will be in the window adjustments.

[@Dirtydobbs82]

Hell ya man im haveing probloms with mine!!

[@dans6476]

How much wobble does your window have when its half way down? Is there a particular adjustment for that?

[@transamman305]

I do have a slight amount of wobble when it's half way down. Honestly not sure how to get rid of that, but my windows are rarely only half way down so I live with it. It doesn't make any noise or chatter going over bumps, but if I grab it and wiggle it, you can feel it.

[@dans6476]

I got a bit of wiggle, drives me crazy. Can't shit the door when I'm putting the window down.

[@DeeperThanBarz]

hi What is the best transmission to use with a 350 small block in a 1984 trans am not to race just for daily driving

[@transamman305]

For daily driving, I'd say you'd be ok with a T5 if you want a manual. If automatic, I'd go with a 700R4 because having an overdrive gear is nice vs a turbo 350 or 400 trans.

[@gracielahernandez6484]

what kinda gauges are those

[@neoholland]

a guy is selling me a 87 trans am, but it doesnt have the passenger door glass , the 92 camaro door glass will fit?? i live in venezuela and is hard to find parts here

[@transamman305]

Yes, the doors and door glass is identical between camaros and firebirds 82-92.

[@irocart83]

No, the door glass from the 92 is a 1 year only. I grabbed a 92 glass from the junk yard, was different than my 85

[@multinjok]

Thank you for this :)

[@marclamontagne2521]

Thanks, very helpfull

[@richardwise1969]

Thanks man.

[@kitt28]

they say everything on these cars are adjustable, they wasnt kidding, my window on my 92 bird goes up and down very slow, is that normal?

[@transamman305]

Yeah, these cars do have slow windows because of how heavy they are. If it's overly slow, your window motor could be going too though. Mine are slow but not that bad at all compared to some other third gens I've seen lol.

[@geoffhughes1986]

Mine was slow when the felt buffers were too tight against the glass.

[@blownzed]

What kind of wheels are those?

[@transamman305]

17" Weld RTS

[@905Speed]

I love you
