Re: Conv. Door Alignment Wedges?

["Don H." <mopar4me@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Both my 65 Dart GT and 65 Valiant converts has them on both sides and are 
chrome-plated (well what hasn't been worn off anyway).    They are 
wedge-shaped on part of the actual part.  The rest of the bracket is flat so 
as to be able to bolt/screw to the body..  I don't recall seeing them on the 
65 Coronet convert I parted put.  I read someplace that they're used to help 
keep the door aligned.
