Default 70 Vert "door alignment" color
First I do not know what this part is called and I am sure someone will let me know - it is the female piece on the door jamb that aligns the door on a vert. I assume it is an attempt to make the body more stable with the lack of the top.

What color is it supposed to be - body color or silver?

Thanks

Not body color since they were installed after the car was painted. They are natural finish, possibly gray phosphate.

The part mounted to the body is called a door guide receiver and they are painted semi-gloss black and the bushing inside is natural finish.

That's what the originals on my 70 look like.
