 Posted: Wed Sep 07, 2016 8:57 pm Post subject: Rear luggage compartment side panels |
 |
|
I installed the side panels under side windows. The rear part of the panels go partially over the wheel tub, but that leaves a large area uncovered from the end of the side panel to the rear bulkhead. What covers that area to close it off?
Pictures would be appreciated. |

Wow!
These are the first I’ve seen of those none of my previous keys had them. The back seat just folded up and it covered the area so you couldn’t see it.

| I successfully sourced some chipboard/paperboard/pressboard and am going to use my dry rotted side panels to remake some new ones. |

Nice! The interior places around me looked at me like I had 3 heads! Chipboard/Pressboard- what’s that?! You want to do what? Never used it!
Good grief |
