Door question
 
My camaro is a t-top. Just wondering if you guys had problems with the doors kinda sagging and not closing well anymore. I heard you just have to replace some springs, but i'm not for sure what it is.

I had some problems with it bowing out too far but when I replaced the guide for the window, it didn't make the door buldge as much and I haven't had a problem since.

never had the problem or even heard of it actually, but sounds weird.

I think it's just because there's so much weight on the front support and just gives a little over time. It's not really bad just have to push a little harder on the passengers side.

your hinge bushings are worn very common on all gm vehicles, if you go into a parts store and look at the help section there is a rebuild kit for it

mine doesn't, but it does happen to alot.. like arch said.

I've heard about it happening all the time so don't worry it's not a hard fix.

if the hinge squeaks could that also be the bushings?

or in need of lube (wd40 is not lube)

My dad had to replace the pins on his 99 Blazer

Thanks a lot, I'll probably try to go get one today if I have a chance.

if not WD40 then should i bust out the KY? LOL :D

use lithium grease and throw the wd 40 in the trash or with the other cleaners (a real penetrating oil works better, but it does remove glue well)
