I need a little guidance, the 56 Corvette doors do not have the metal reinforcements in the door for the DOOR FRONT WINDOW GUIDES to bolt to like in the 58-60 cars.
On my 56 it is much different then when I did my 60 and it looks like the DOOR FRONT WINDOW GUIDE for a 56 is a bit different then a 58-60. I found a picture that looks different and it looks like the bottom has a side screw rater than a nut facing forward.
My car came with the later DOOR FRONT WINDOW GUIDES for like a 58-60. Has anyone successfully used the later guides on 56? From my next picture it looks like it might be as simple as drilling a hole in the side at the bottom of the later DOOR FRONT WINDOW GUIDE.
Has anyone successfully converted a later guide to a 56 door with the lower metal bracket like in my picture number 2?
I am thinking I should be able to drill a hole at the arrow point area and shim as needed.
Note the metal loop at the bottom of the door.
This is a picture I found of what I think might be a 56/early 57 front guide.
This is what my 60 looked like but it had the metal support.
56 door front window guide help!
