Just look at the exploded drawing on the accompanying page showing aschematic of the door components.
To offset for crowned roads set the left caster to 2 3 4 degrees positive and the right 3 1 4 degrees positive.
To adjust the door you will need to remove the lower rocker vent.
You know it will eventually happen.

Have you ever wondered how many times you have opened and closed the doors on your corvette especially the driver s side door.
Sagging broken seals road noise and water leaks to name a few.
Our inventory selection includes both door alignment pins and door wedges along with pin reinforcements and housings to meet your corvette restoration needs.
Sagging by closing the door as far as possible without latching and check the alignment of the belt molding at the rear of the door and the short piece of belt molding on the body in front of the rear wheel.
They should be at the same height.
My door was sagging by about 3 8.
From here on i used the 3 16 diameter drill bit to size the door gap openings for the drivers side door.
Positive 3 1 4 degrees plus or minus degree there should be no more than a degree variation side to side.
Your c3 corvette s door hinges wear out and the resulting alignment issues cause a multitude of problems.
Don t try to use the striker to raise the door fit the door first all the striker should do is set the in out flush of the door and hold it closed.
However a 3 16 drill bit fit perfectly.
But for many corvette owners adjustingyour windows to make them weather tight is challenging.
