Default Interior Rear Trim Question



When I removed the rear interior quarter panels from the car, they were not attached to the body. I'm not completing the interior and putting everything back, and want to put this back in properly. I have the correct screws, but I need to know is there something missing that I need to order to complete this job?

Default Quarter panel install

Nope....

That's all ya need.

There should be little inserts in the quarter panel itself.

Check and make sure they all are there...

If not they sell kits to repair them...

They fall out or get stripped.

GOOD LUCK!

The slots that they go into are so large compared to the head of the screw. How is this going to hold?

Can someone supply pics of what this piece should look like properly installed?

The quarter panel on my '75 is held on in a pinch manner. There is a peice of trim that sits on the door side of the ridge that has holes that line up with the holes in the back of the quater panel. Put the quarter panel in place, put the trim peice in place, one on either side of the ridge and then screw them together tight to pinch on that ridge in the door jam.
