Default 69 Map-pocket

My map pocket needs reworking... I just received a set of new springs for it... does any one have a PIC of the back side of the dash pad they could share? Mine was previously repaired by BUBA... and I was wondering how the springs were originally set up.... (ie grommets, wire, ect...)

Thanks

Thanks. Those are really helpfull. Are the springs connected through the gromit....?? and the pin and clip are there to keep it from backing out? or is the spring actually connected to the pin/stud?

Thanks again! :flag

Sorry for amny delay in responding....

I just checked my dash pad - the springs actually hook into the grommets. It appears that the pins/clips are there to only fill the hole and prevent the spring from coming out of the hole. :cheers:
