I have a 68 Convert and do not have the brass wedges in place. They are mysteriously missing. Does anyone have a photo of their wedges I could sneak a peek at?

Thanks alot,
John

Do you just put 2 shims behind each brass wedge and your done?

You have to shim until there is a slight interference fit when the door closes. The purpose is to add rigidity to the body structure when the door is closed.
