I dunno about the side windows though. Never heard of them being too far forward.

Have they always been like that? Would seem odd that they would suddenly have that much gap. I have just adjusted mine by taking off the door panels. Once off you can see two nuts towards the front of the door that, when loosened, allow you to raise or lower the front of the side glass. There is also one at the back (nearer the back) that will allow you to do the same with the back. I would have a look there first. There is a tech article explaining how to take off door panels if you haven't done it before.
Good luck

it seems like the gap is caused by the widow not being flush against the rear seal.

I know exactly what you're talking about--my driver's side door has a visible gap (~1 mm wide) between the rear seal and the window.
I, however, didn't notice the gap until after I installed my new door hinge pins. My guess is that the rear seals have "grown accustomed" to one position and, whenever the position of the door changes, they are not properly "grown" for the new position.
I'm not sure what to tell you as to how to fix it except to get new weatherstripping.

adjusting it will help, but not fix it, i just bought a used 4th gen and mine was like that, i adjusted all the things i could and it did help, i still have like a 5MM gap, but its better than the 2CM gap i had

have u tried adjusting the tabs? i just adjusted mine some more a minute ago and now its near perfect (probably wont be p;erfect cause of the seals being old)
i agree with the camaros need window frames thing
