On my 76, the trim piece below the back window was missing. I picked up a replacement and now I am trying to mount it.
The PO was kind enough to leave one of the three "L" brackets in place so I have an idea how to make the other two. With those three brackets, the trim piece looks like it will mount under the window fine. However, when I turn the trim piece over, there are six threaded holes where something goes.
What goes here? Is there another piece of trim I am missing or is there some sort of stiffening bar that is supposed to go on back of the trim?
Those are "stand-off" pads molded into the backside of that part. Those keep the part from flexing inward [too much] when you push on it, after it's mounted.
