1967 convertible top

[Phil A.]

After adjusting the frame before putting the new top in place, The rear of the driver's window was about 1/16 of an inch different than the passanger's window with both being parallel to the top, is this acceptable? Thanks in advance.

I've been having trouble lining up the frame prior to putting on the canvas too. Anyone know of a resources for lining up the top frame? Or someone in South Florida that could do it???

1/16 inch is rather good tolerence for anything on an old Corvette.

Phil and Bill,

Try this before you set the pads and top:


Those are wood shims top and back side of the window against the frame. Thickness is supposed to be .46" +/-.06 per AIM sheet 1ASM F5.

The adjustment is made at the hinge assembly to frame attachment in back of the seat. Set it to the shims and then score a line around the hinge assembly on the frame mount.

But I have to agree with Wayne, 1/16" is nothing, especially on a convertible top.
