1968-1982 C3 T-top Panel Center Bayonet Adjustment Shims 10 Pieces 473229 - OEM Number(s) (473229)
Dial In That Perfect T-Top Fit—No Rattles, No Gaps, Just Precision
If your 1968–1982 Corvette C3’s T-tops rattle, leak, or just don’t sit quite right, the issue may not be the panels—it could be the shims. These T-Top Panel Center Bayonet Adjustment Shims (10 Pieces) are the small but essential components that help align and secure your T-top panels exactly where they belong.
Why It Matters:
Over time, age and wear can cause factory shims to compress, crack, or disappear entirely. That misalignment can lead to wind noise, water intrusion, and panel movement. These precision shims restore proper fitment by adjusting the height and seating of the T-top’s bayonet mounts—returning structural stability and sealing integrity to your roofline.
