Default Body Seams

So what about filling all the body seams like the rear panel, panel below back glass and fender to header panel? Just don't like the seams below back glass but I am still not sure about the rear tailight panel seams. pos some pics thanks

i also filled in the back under-window seams. i just went over it with light coats of body filler over the factory seam sealer. is there a different way i shouldve done it? looking back i dont want it to crack and ruin the paint. how is your guys' holding up?

All of the camaros I have seen "fill" the seams with body filler crack over time. I am sure there are some better fillers out there with fiber reinforcement but if you want it to last you need to weld it. And before you weld it you need to get all of the factory seam sealer out of the joint (try a soda blaster or spot sand blaster).
