71 iterior questions
I am trying to take apart the car and I have a couple of questions.
1. What covers the back of the door jam where the screws fasten the interior panel on?
2. How does the t-top panel come off? I removed the screws on the front and back but it hanging on. Is there something else?
Thanks,

There is a two-piece metal trim strip that conforms to the shape of the flange. Yours is very missing.
The t-top interior panels are held on by what looks like prehistoric velcro...big nubs that fit into a receiver.

They will come unfinished and will need to be painted body color when you paint the door jamb area.

Re: 71 iterior questions (trw)
Hmmm, well maybe you guys are right. My body color and interior color are basically the same (Bridgehampton Blue / Bright Blue) so when I took them off and compared the colors it matched the interior color perfectly, including the level of metallic in them so I used that to repaint them. They weren't as dull as the paint on the door jamb inside area. Oh well, so much for A*S*S*U*MING something. :eek: I'll go crawl under a rock now and disappear.... :crazy: ~Juliet

Mine are body colored on my 69, I know that they were originally body colored because I have taken them off and seen the original Riverside Gold paint my car was originally painted on the backsides.
