GENERAL DESCRIPTION

.
A
structural network
of
steel forms the backbone
of
the

Corvette body. When combined with
the
fiber-glass
re-

inforced plastic body panels,
the
steel-plastic marriage

results
in a
body with increased torsional rigidity
and

greater beaming strength.
Convertible models continue with two roof styles:
the

folding
top
and the removable hardtop. In operation, both

tops function similar to those
of
previous models. Either

top
is
standard and both
are
optional
as
determined by

the top selected
as
base equipment.

DOORS

ADJUSTMENTS

Door Lock Striker

Door lock strikers incorporate
an
inter-lock feature

consisting
of a
notch
in the
striker into which the lock

bolt housing extension engages. With
the
inter-lock

feature
it is
very important that
the
lock extension en-

gages properly
in the
striker notch
and
that, where

necessary,
the
correct striker emergency spacers
are

used to obtain proper engagement.

1.
To
adjust striker
up,
down,
in, or
out loosen striker

plate screws and shift striker and adjusting plates
as

required, then tighten screws.

2.
To determine
if
door lock striker emergency spacers

are required, apply modeling clay
or
body caulking

compound
in the
door lock striker notch where
the

lock extension engages,
and
then close
the
door
to

form
a
measurable impression in the clay
or
caulk-

ing compound,
as
shown
in
Figure
24.
Remove
all

clay
or
compound when adjustment
is
completed.

When dimension
"A"
from inside face
of
striker teeth

to center
of
lock extension
is
less than 3/16", install

emergency spacers
and
proper length striker attaching

screws.

NOTE:
Dimension
"B"
from center
of
lock

extension
to
inside face
of
striker notch should
.

never be less than 1/8".

If check indicates need
for
emergency spacers,
pro-

ceed
as
follows:
1.
With pencil, scribe position
of
striker on body pillar.

2.
Remove three door lock striker attaching screws and

remove striker
and
adjusting plates from pillar.

3.
To
install, place striker, shims and adjusting plates

within scribe marks
on
pillar
and
tighten screws.

IMPORTANT: Whenever
a
door
has
been
re-

moved
and
installed,
or
realigned,
the
door

SHOULD NOT be closed completely until
a
visual

check
is
made to determine
if
the lock extension/

will engage
in the
striker notch. Where
re-

quired, door lock striker emergency spacers

should
be
installed
so
that door
can be
closed

and
an
accurate check made to determine emer-

gency spacer requirements.

Door Window and Vent Adjustment

To move
the top of the
window
in or
out, the bottom

ends
of
both
run
channels
are
adjustable.
The
rear

channel
is
adjusted
by
loosening
the
lower
of
the two

screws
on the
rear face
of
door, "C" Figure 25, and

moving channel
as
necessary.
The
front channel
is ad-

justed
by
removing
the
trim pad and moving the Channel

in
or out by a
stud
and nut
adjustment, "B" Figure 25.

The
top end of the
rear channel
is
not adjustable in
or

out.

On 19467 models
an
adjustment
may be
made
to the

closed-door relationship
of the
vent assembly
to the

windshield frame. This adjustment
is
controlled
by the

stud-nut assembly "B" Figure
25.

The closed position
of the
window
is
controlled
by

bumper assemblies located
at
each end
of
window frame

as shown
in
Figure
26.
^
Access
to
bumper retaining

screw
may be
gained through holes
"D" and
"E"
in

Figure
25.

Door Hinges

The position
of the
door assembly in the body opening

is adjusted
by the
striker plate position covered
pre-

viously
and the
position
of the
door
on
the hinge rear
