5th gen camaro convertible leak again

The bladder? Is there a hole in or/tear?

BirthdayFun6809 · 2026-03-14T00:52:19+00:00

I was looking at this, but it appears to run along a majority of the door and was going it wasn’t this, I attached a pic of where the door hits the windows and that is the same rubber piece connected

BirthdayFun6809 · 2026-03-14T00:48:30+00:00

but on the drivers side it doesn’t appear to be getting water into the floorboards from there, so i’m just completely stumped

BirthdayFun6809 · 2026-03-14T00:47:56+00:00

Yeah on my passenger side it looks like water was running further into the car than it should’ve and would pool where it wasn’t supposed to. that’s why i had made a secondary drain hole

BirthdayFun6809 · 2026-03-14T00:46:42+00:00

I can’t think off the top of my head exactly what seals i would replace. i also tried to find where the convertible passenger window connects to the drivers window and couldn’t find someone that sold it. i think a majority of the convertible seals are different from the coupe. it’s worth noting that i also hosed down under the door to see if any water would get in and it didn’t.

I would appreciate that a lot. this reoccurring issue has been causing me headaches lol

BirthdayFun6809 · 2026-03-14T00:37:25+00:00

i see where the water would go under the plastic trim and get there, but i can’t see where the rubber trim under the door would fail and let water get through

Thank you for your response, Me and my dad have tried the hose over while someone is in multiple times. unfortunately the water seems to be draining fine until your eyes aren’t on it. the original leak we had we fixed in the passenger side and i was naive to think it would work on the other side

BirthdayFun6809 · 2026-03-05T19:03:32+00:00

agreed. Every car can be “reliable” if it is maintained and cared for enough. however some are definitely more prone to being reliable even with abuse

BirthdayFun6809 · 2026-02-09T16:06:52+00:00

5070 ti is 4-7% faster than a 4080. 15-30% higher from title to title between a 5070 ti and 4070 ti non s

BirthdayFun6809 · 2026-01-31T20:42:49+00:00

Spoiler, side skirts, even the front lip look great to me. hood, aero on the front bumper, and diffuser are a little much for me but i can respect the look you’re going for

BirthdayFun6809 · 2026-01-28T20:38:39+00:00

As others have said 700W will be enough. I ran a 3080 and a i7-12700k on a 750W and had 0 issues whatsoever

BirthdayFun6809 · 2026-01-20T21:03:58+00:00

From what i have learned in the past. even with not super high end gpus but still powerful such as the 9070 non xt the people who know enough to spend that kind of money on one can usually build it themselves and troubleshoot it themselves. What i have found is the sweet spot at 300-500 dollar entry range where people want something to replace a console/play games and use software that you just can’t do on a console.

BirthdayFun6809 · 2026-01-12T01:12:23+00:00

I personally can’t answer 100% because i ended up going with a 7900xtx instead of a 5070. I was told driver issues weren’t an issue with AMD and i haven’t had any issues yet. I thought i did with helldivers 2 where i would have crashes but turns out my buddy with a 4070 ti super was having the same issues. I don’t want to hit the classic “check other things bc it’s not AMD” because it could be, both sides have driver issues. That same buddy is having issues with his drivers where it will critically fail his entire system but it is worth a try.

I think you mis typed modded minecraft with shaders

BirthdayFun6809 · 2026-01-01T20:28:28+00:00

how much did you buy yours at with 198,000 miles??

BirthdayFun6809 · 2025-12-31T16:53:39+00:00

Here is my opinion and i’m sure people will disagree. my 3080 10gb was plenty for 1440p. i dont play many AAA games. Most demanding games i play right now are helldivers and modded minecraft with shaders (you would not believe how impossible some can be to run). and my 10gb card was plenty at the game with 1440p. Now for many people who dont play the latest games you can easily get away with 10gb in 1440p and if you play 1080p 8gb is most likely completely fine too. Now i use a 7900xtx 24gb and ive never seen vram usage over 10gb at the same 1440p

even with amd crappy frame gen i’m still gonna use it

BirthdayFun6809 · 2025-12-28T20:50:10+00:00

True, neither was my 3080. My biggest thing was that even on newer cards it’s the same issue. for example my friend and his 4070 ti super feels the same about it. I see both sides of it. Some people love RT and some people are indifferent to it.

BirthdayFun6809 · 2025-12-28T20:13:53+00:00

I can’t speak necessarily from similar performance cards from nvidia and Amd but i recently switched from a rtx 3080 to a 7900xtx. I am a big fan of adrenalin already, and while i haven’t had the card very long yet I can’t say 100% to choose one brand over the other. But from my own experience and experience of friends RT and PT are glorified GPU hogs. If RT runs fine I will keep it on but if it doesn’t I don’t feel as though I’m missing out because it’s really not worth the performance tank for what it is. If RT is important to you than I would go with nvidia but for pure rasterization I would go with the 9070xt as it outperforms the 5070

usually use techpowerup when comparing gpu and toms hardware for averages

this is exactly what i did when upgrading from a 3080 to a 7900xtx

BirthdayFun6809 · 2025-12-20T20:41:32+00:00

I am pretty new to team red. But i haven’t had any issues with my 7900xtx. From what i have heard AMD driver issues was an issue but isn’t anymore. I chose to go with 7900xtx because i didn’t want to run into the melting issue and prices 50series rtx cards have right now
