My 65 coupe only has 1 clip per side.

My 66 coupe has only 1 blind clip per side, at the top middle of this rear quarter trim panel. See TIM&JG, P46 Interior, Rear Quarter Trim Panels.

Not very long ago, I wrote and article with the photo you want. I compared the repros with originals from my daughter's '67 coupe. Send email to midvette@mac.com for a copy.

Tom - that's *EXACTLY* the detail I was looking for! Thanks much.

Tom,

Do you know the headmark for the bolt/screw at the very bottom of the trim panel?

Re: 66 Interior Rear Quarter panels

When my 63 was judged I took a small hit for missing clips - the judges indicated one per side was correct (which I have added now)... Of course, its a 63 and not always indicative of what is correct or later cars....

Frank,

I've only ever seen examples where the top clip is under the vinyl/leather, not over like you show it. Unless '63 was done differently.

Re: 66 Interior Rear Quarter panels

Not the best pictures I'm afraid -- the clip actually does go up under the vinyl "flap" and down over the fiberboard....

Re: 66 Interior Rear Quarter panels

These are what I believe to be the original "bolt screws" from the bottom attach point (for the interior quarter panel trim pcs. 1967 Coupe). The date of the passenger side door panel was in Jan. 1967.

NOTE THE GLUE ON THE HEADS OF THE TWO SCREWS. Note the "self taping" feature also.

Gary B. - I see no head-marks, but a very tiny indented circle in the center. I suppose I could blast the head of one of these and see more.

Re: 66 Interior Rear Quarter panels

I am thinking these two screws actually came from a 1966 Conv. made in mid October of 1965. Were these parts the same on coupes and convertibles?

Coupes and convertibles used the same lower screw.

Thanks for the photo, Tom.
