Default Vert owners...Help! One question......

The front bow alignment pins. The two chrome pins that fit down into the plastic bushings in the windshield frame.

Is there a right and left to these pins?

I ordered a set from Corvette Central. When I took them out of the box you could see the pins were 'leaning', not straight up and down. I figured Ok, there's a right and left to these.

The problem is mine both lean the same way! I seem to have two rights or two lefts.

This might be a stupid question, but an I correct? Or should both the pins be identical, 'bent' in the same direction?
Thanks folks!
John

Not something I've run into, but I looked them up in the GM parts book and there is a right and left. I looked at my top again and the pin does lean towards the outside of the top. Very slight lean that I didn't notice the first time until after I confirmed with the book.

Thanks for the help! I kinda figured there'd be a L&R. It just didn't make sense they'd be bent the same way. I just placed an order Friday for the hinge bottoms and weatherstrip hardware, I wish I'd have unboxed those pins a little eariler. I could have resolved this a little faster.

Thanks again!
