Convertible door guide question
Permalink  
 

Geting ready to put these back in, glad to find this picture of which side one each goes on.

My question is, that since new ones come with shims... and mine did not have shims... and the doors and door gaps have changed... what is the gap or level of contact to shoot for?rolleyes

Appreciate any first hand comments or factory AY information (couln not find it in the manual, but didn't look to hard)

Thanks

Hate to say it...but I think I've still got the set from the vert resto in a nut and bolt can somewhere, as I never reinstalled them.

I was told they are for grounding purposes, but not sure what they do.  Bruce do you know?  headscratch

Always thought they were to help combat body flex on the Verts!

Have no real clue.

Think Karl has it
from Team Chevelle
"Not to prevent body flex but to add a "stop" to the flex so the door gap would always remain a gap. Can't allow the body panels to touch."
