1970 Convertible Door Lock Pillar
Hi Vette Folks,
I am assembling my 70 Convertible after a long restoration. The car was well worn, and most of the rubber parts were long gone. I am having some trouble with the door lock pillar rubbers/seals. I am talking about the rubber seal and wedge that mounts on top of the door lock pillar (not the door itself) and just in front of the the deck lid.
Although I have an assembly manual, i am still struggling with how these pieces fit and what they should look like - specially since mine had to be re-build due to damaged fibreglass.
Can anyone with an original convertible of this era post a picture of this area of their car. I spent a day going through hundreds of old vette magazines, but they never seem to take photos with the doors open from an angle that shows this area. How inconsiderate
Thanks all.
