Did you look at my ImageShack page at the other spot that is messed up? Top of the door jamb where the windlace meets, think forward weather strip for the quarter glass just below the window channel????? Messed up!!!!!
My Camaro is an early Jan 67 so that would make sense with the stamp shape on the jamb, didn't know there was a difference, thanks.
I haven't even got to the trunk area yet, or the tail pan ..... waiting on the AMD rep to come and look at this quarter!

I see a little bit of metal missing in the jamb where the windlace meets, but other than that, I don't really see anything wrong with the AMD quarter there. I'm not there to see them in person, so its difficult to tell. I'm aware of the problems with the quarters not fitting well in the trunk channel and around the tail panel, but don't recall ever hearing anything about poor fitment in the door jamb area.
It's good you have an AMD rep in your area that can come by there and check out the problems in person. Hopefully, they will get your problems taken care of.
With my experience, nothing fits the car like the original part did. That's even with NOS parts. I've had to modify every panel on my car to get a better fitment and that even includes the original panels I removed from the car!
