really silly camaro complaint. - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I'm 5'4" and also find myself using the bowtie. LOL

And I do find it hard to reach stuff that has slid towards the front of the car. I put smaller stuff, or bottles that I worry about tipping over and opening (bleach, etc) safely inside the cargo net.

5'10" and use the bowtie here. I try not to touch the glass or paint when I shut my doors too, at least not with my fingertips - I will use my elbow or touch the glass on edges only to try avoid fingerprints.
After someone rides with me I always go over to the passenger side and wipe down the prints off the glass. Ok meybe that's a bit much? Yucky sticky oily fingerprints on my glass make me cringe.

Haha, I never had an issue with my height - but I use the bowtie because I don't wanna yank on the spoiler or touch the trunk lid.

I have the same problem figuring out what to grab to close the trunk lid. On our Dodge Charger there's a handle inside the trunk so I guess I'm just reaching for something that doesn't exist on the Camaro, and I'm not used to touching the outside of the car. Wish somebody would invent a nice looking interior trunk handle for the new Camaro.

I'm 6'2 and still use the bowtie, or you can just get some lower springs.

LOL I am between 5'7 and 5'8 and I, too, use the bowtie to close the trunk. We're all quite mad I think

ravensjeff · 10-04-2011, 10:38 PM

I wouldn't really say you're "sort of" short. In fact, you're now officially the shortest guy I know.

It is TOTALLY an issue! I was lecturing my son on the proper way to close the trunk lid. We had just bought groceries and loaded them into the trunk. I told him NOT to grab the bowtie! My wife has a G6 and her Pontiac emblem fell off so I am really protective of my Bowtie!
Its better to drop the lid from the spoiler than from the bowtie.
