Default Side window adjustment

1971 T-Top, Can the side windows be adjusted back and forth? If so, how?

Yes, and the procedure is in the GM Service Manual for your year. I don't recall it off hand but it is very clear and fairly simple. If you don't have the GM Service Manual you can get one at www.ncrs.org and go to the store icon. A must for every Corvette owner.

The easiest way is get one of those suction cups that glass guys use, or one that's made for lifting floor sections in computer rooms. Loosen all the adjustments and have one person outside position the window for best fit. The other person in the car then locks down the adjustments.
