Ok here are some cheap quick fixes on my camaros that that seam to be common , because I fixed both of them on both of my convertibles:
A/C - One of the most expensive fixes but cheapest DIY Fixes :
- Broken Blend Door -
Symptoms : Warm air ( cold and hot mixed air ) coming out of the vents
Quick Fix : Replace the blend door by cutting into the side of the heater core housing instead of taking the dash board , windshield , steering wheel out.
Parts / Cost: $18

Tip for every Camaro owner who doesn’t want to do the repair : Never turn your A/C on all the way cold or all the way hot !! leave 2 notches open when turning the control knob !

( Convertibles )
Loose inside Convertible top cover that causes loud rattling inside the car.
Since the screws are inside the cover , where the plastic which holds them, breaks off the breaking point is unaccessible so it can just be fixed on the top frame with silicone :

- Broken Trunk open mechanism connection / harness -
Symptoms : Trunk doesn’t pop open after pushing the trunk release button on the door or remote
( While closing , the harness likes to bent right between the trunk lid and body where it breaks one of the cables or for you it may be a another cable like light etc.
Quick Fix : reconnect the cable and put a thick piece of elastic but, stiff enough plastic in to the harness ( so the harness doesn’t bent) , tape it with duck tap , wrap a plastic channel round it and fixate with cable binders
Parts / Cost: $10
