Hey is there a way to adjust the alignment of the t-tops on a 75 corvette... See my drivers side lines up really well and looks straight all the way around but on the passenger side the line down the middle is rather wide toward the back and the back right edge of the top sticks out alittle bit and really throws off the line down the side of the car.. I have all the interior panels out so i can see everything pretty good from below and it seems like the rear mount on that side just won't go into the holder far enought to let it sit right... how do I go about adjusting this?

The side-side adjustment is at the rear, where the little triangular post is. There are two screws there. Loosen that plate, and move it inward a little at a time until the outer edge is in line with the body. Be aware, tho, that this will also effect the up/down gap too, so a little at a time is best.
Also remember, these cars were never "perfect" to start with.

Thanks Joel, that answered a question I had on my 76 alignment as well. Same problem, drivers side straight as an arrow and the passngr. side off a bit at the back. Just got done doing the interior and was looking at things from the outside and that T-Top wasa drivnig me nuts.

Caution!! When you loosen the screws, don't loosen too much. The nut plate will come off the screws and drop down.
