Z06 Titanium exhaust crooked on Base C5

Hello everyone, I installed a Z06 exhaust on my base C5 and noticed that the right tips sit slowly lower then the left. I tried unbolting it and tightening it at an angle with the same result. Any advice for better fitment? I know titanium is delicate and don't want to force it into place.

C5 Corvette trunk glass tint

I bought this C5 corvette about 3 months ago and the tint on the back glass looked like this in the first picture. Two days ago I got new ceramic tints installed and the back glass looks about the same in the second, third and fourth pic after installation. I see no difference. The installer told me the giant air and water bubbles would go away in about 10 days. Has anyone gone through this? I tried pushing them out but they wont move. Is this a glass defect or installation defect.

I just find it hard to believe that the old tint had this particular pattern and after install it looks identical.

C5 Window leak problem

Hello everyone, I bought this targa top C5 Corvette in March of this year. Over the past couple of months I've been trying to get rid of the wind noise and water leak issue in the front middle side of each window and back corner where it meets with the halo.

First I tried adjusting every different angle of the window with mild success. Wind noise gone, water still leaks. Then I remembered that the previous owner had new weather stripping for the targa top where the window meets, I just put it in and the gaps are now worse. It seems like this one is not even the same shape of the edge of the window for it to properly fit snug.

I've read on Corvette Forum that the only solution is to buy OEM GM weather stripping which is insanely expensive. I refuse to believe that the answer is spending $300-$1000 dollars in brand new weatherstripping.

This is probably the 10th time I've taken out the door panels to deal with this and I'm just frustrated and defeated.

If anyone has a guidance, tips or advice or a different take on to how deal with this without breaking the bank I would greatly appreciated it.

Thank you.
