Default The Official C4 Corvette Window Alignment Write Up (PDF)

I've been noticing that quite a few of you have been looking for instructions on how to fix your Corvette's window alignment, with the major symptom being that the window scrapes the side pillar of your vette. Right off hand I'd like to say that what you're experiencing is most likely due to a broken window stop guide. I did a full write-up some time back, and I figure that many of you have not seen it yet and may be experiencing the window problem. So here are the step-by-step instructions w/ pics. It has been uploaded as a PDF so that you can save the file and keep on your computer for easy access.

I hope this helps some of you out.

Wow that is fantastic! Adjusting windows can be a frustrating endeavor when attempted without using the proper procedure. This will no doubt help many members out. Be sure to post it in the C4 tech section too.

Robert,

Would you mind if I were to put this up on my site, www.corvetteprices.org ?

I think it would be a great add to the C4 articles section.

Please let me know, either way. PM is fine.

Great article, thanks.

And thanks for not being one of those members who feels every new member to this forum should first memorize everything in the archives before posting any "how to" questions.
