Default Window Adjustment

On my 81, the windows are not aligned so there is a gap on one side that is causing a lot of wind noise on one side.

Looking for instructions or a video to show me how to adjust.

Before anybody asks, all the weather stripping is new and straight. Just doesn't sit right.

Anybody have anything that might help?

The attached manual is for my 69 but assume something exists for your 81?

It has instructions for window adjustments

Common problem, here’s a couple threads that might help.

https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...p-issue-2.html

It’s a little tedious but definitely doable.
Good Luck
