1964 convertible deck lid alignment

[Scott T.]

I need a little help we are putting my 1964 convertible back together after painting it the rear deck cover as I call it the cover that covers the top when down seems to be up about an eighth inch to high on the left rear corner the front edge is perfect as is the right side, are there any adjustments in the rear deck hinges i.e. up and down, I can push it down but obviously it springs back up and its only a slight amount, thanks in advance for your infinite wisdom fellow corvette people.

Scott, Sometimes there is a shim or two under the lower hinge supports on each side , If there are not the best thing you can do is to add a 1/16 shim to the front upper hinge bolt only this will lower the deck lid. I had to do this to my 63.
