1971 rear window storage tray
Anyone have pics of how the styrofoam inserts are supposed to be positioned? What should be used to attach them to the tray? Thanks for any help provided...

Hi TW,
These is the only styrofoam back there that I know of.
Are these what you're asking about? They're actually 'filler' pieces in the back corners of the compartment as ES describes.
They're slightly different right to left.
Regards,
Alan
Whoops.... Photobucket is doing maintenance, I'll post the pictures when I can.

Rear window tray
Bought 1971 in August, my first Vette. My bad calling what I found in the tray ...styrofoam...actually they're more of a foam product. Someone mentioned carpet...didn't find any. If carpet does belong in there, top...bottom...or both? Thanks...

The pic looks like the battery compartment door seal (if there's enough to go around the perimeter).
Not sure if the foam you have is the original seal or something else, but my one-owner '70 has the seal. See '70 AIM, page 90, p/n 3918669.

So, is there carpet or something in the tray to protect window while it is in the tray? Nothing in the battery box, except the battery...are these foam strips (shown in previous post) supposed to surround the battery? Or the previous owners attempt to minimize rattles from empty tray? Thanks for responses so far...

Those are foam strips from that great auto parts store Home Depot! I looks like window seal. Comes in rolls and is sticky on one side.

Thanks to all who took time to help with answers. Looks like I need to get a seal for battery compartment, also hold down bracket. Do any vendors offer protective case for rear window like they do for t-tops, when it is in the storage tray?
