Default C3 rear window tray?

I have a 69 and am trying to find all the equipment and where to by it for a rear window tray...unless there is another safe way to store the window while driving. Also, what years are compatible with my 69?

Thanks!

Ryan

Wondering also. Mine still has a couple of foam pieces. Not sure if they are original or a prior owner put them there

Hi Ryan,
Are you asking about the tray, clips, hinges, and retainer fingers; or something else?
I don't think the trays are being reproduced but are available used. The 68-69 tray was fiberboard while the 70-71 tray was plastic. I believe the later tray may work in your car but I'm not sure about the hinges. Are you sure the hinges are missing? Often the tray is gone but the hinges are there. I'll post a picture of the later hinges.
The system consisted of the tray, 2 hinges that connect it to the rear compartment bulkhead, a center 'clip' in the front (under the window), and 2 fingers on the tray that help keep the window from moving around while in the tray.
Thee are 3 small square foam blocks that are stuck to the underside of the rear deck that are supposed to help stop the widow from rattling too.
There was a thread recently about the tray and it's parts for the various years. Have you done a 'search'?
Regards,
Alan

This is the right-side hinge


Here's the tray, and clip from a 71.
