Convertible frame adjustment - touches the seat on one side
The convertible frame rubs against the drivers seat with the top down and the seat to the rear - which is my comfortable driving position. As the pics show the RH passenger side is about 3 1/4" from the body whereas the LH driver is almost 4" over. The top does go up nicely and there isn't any sag over the windows.
If an easy way exists to move the frame over about 1/4"-3/8" what is it?
BTW - our Corvette show is 3/12 in Venice. Look me up if you're attending.

to the best of my knowledge, they all do; especially when the seat is all the way back...
mine does. I pad between the top and the seat

Mine does. But I think it's more the driver's seat back being closer to the door.

Yep, what they said............they all rub.
It is more important that the top fits the body and windshield frame correctly, than worry about the seat rub.

Thanks guys. Was hoping I could somehow just ease it over a little to get rid of the "touch me". Oh well. On with other projects like a new top and making the frame correct.
