Vette(s): 1970 Corvette LS1 Convertable Monza Red 4Spd Posi 350 cid 370 HP
my 1970 convertable is missing a bracket for the drivers door guide. the bracket sits on top of the door lock post inner frame. having a problem trying to find this and i was wondering if may be damaging to the car to keep using the door without the guide working. any ideas?

Do not know the answer for sure but I would say yes as without them you are weakening the strength of the body a lot. You do not have the T-Top frame to hold the part together.
By the way I know where you can get them. I just had their usefulness explaine to me on last Tuesday.

If you are talking about the guide on the door jam that the pin on the door slides into as you close your door I bought 2 new ones last year. I still have one of the old ones. If its the right piece I would sell it a lot less then you can buy a new one for. I think they are almost 90 bucks. If you can post a pic and which side you need. I cant remember which side I have but I will check once I know ifwe are talking about the same pic. I can send you a pic of mine to your email but I still havent figured out how to post pics on here yet.
