Default Looking For Repair Article

I am going to work on my 77 doors and could use guidance on a good source for trouble shooting doors. Probably need some new window motors and generally need to troubleshoot the doors to improve lock performance and power window performance.
If you know of a good magazine or book article please throw me a link, a line, or a clue.
Thanks for looking.
David

Hi David,

My '69 GM chassis service manual has a pretty descriptive section about door and glass adjustments, weatherstrips, linkages, etc. It's in section 1B, corvette body.

I'd have to guess any of that info would carry through right to '77...

Sent you a PM.

Joe
