rear facia alignment ? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hi All........The passenger side of the rear facia has a 1/16" gap between the fender and the drivers side has a nice tight fit. The question I have is there a way to adjust the fitment so that the gap between the fender and facia is closer together?

Take it to the dealer

Thanks for your intellectual comment but taking it to the dealer is not an option for me.

Kind of a snarky response. How is HE supposed to know you can't go to a dealer. Post a pic, you will get a lot more help.

if u had bothered to look which only takes 1 minute, you will realize how easy it is to bring the bumper up on the sides. but since you seem to be smart one, I am sure u can figure it out. If not, TAKE IT TO THE DEALER!

I've also noticed various gap size differences, I'm not too concerned, but for example the right side of my trunk has a larger gap than the left. (almost imperceptible, but it is different, I noticed when waxing and wiping off the excess wax in the cracks)

The rear bumper on the left sticks out a little bit (a very tiny amount, most probably wouldn't notice) where it connects to the body at the wheel well, but it does not on the right. The front bumper does the same thing but on the opposite side.

1/16 Inch? I seem to remember when I worked on the assembly line that nothing fit. If we got to 1/16, we would call the media! Of course that was in the good old days when a Hemi would do 0-60 in 6 seconds. (Well, maybe those days weren't so good after all)

The rear and front FASCIAS are mostly held on with clips. I remember reading a thread a while back where someone's rear fascia was indented slightly, and found the clip wasn't in correctly.
That might be the case with your alignment problem. Remove the wheel and fender liner, and check the clips along that area.
