Interior Screws 1967

Re: Interior Screws 1967

Scott has the right screws, they are the same as the pinch weld cap. The windshield/back window clip screws are a little shorter.

Rich,

Thank you for the confirmation, I wasn't sure about that one.

Scott and Tim,
I ran across this thread while searching for information on whether the carpet goes in front of or behind the rear quarter trim panel on a 67 convertible. The post answered my question that it goes in front of the quarter trim panel but that raised another question which maybe you can answer for me. Is the exposed carpet edge that runs in front of the quarter trim panel a raw carpet edge or is the carpet edge bound/finished with a vinyl edging like other areas of the carpet edge that are exposed?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts on my question.

Neal,

To the best of my knowledge it's finished, that's the way it is on my 67.

For future reference, there is a good photo of this area in John Hinckley's Presentation #3, slide #64.

Scott,
I show that screw in the 64AIM, Sec 1 sheet C20.00 as item 7. So we can assume it was used from 4/20/64 forward (that's the page Redraw date)
The second screw was added sometime before the end of the 64 MY. Based upon the looking I have done trying to find just when it was added -- can only say it happened after 3/23/64. Unless we can find an unrestored car & cover panel without the added hole at a latter date.
When removing the cover panel - say to change tops, the carpet would always flop down & away from the cover panel looking like crap so I would assume GM added that additional small screw And yes that area of the carpet was trimmed, if my memory is working.

Re: Interior Screws 1967

The screw for the carpet is a small short bevel head trim screw. If no one comes up with it before tomorrow, I will try to get a picture.

Alan,

I think I may have found it. There is a handwritten note in my copy of the 1964 AIM, Section 1 Asm, Sheet C11. Along the RH side of the page (with an arrow pointing to the bottom of the rear quarter trim panel area) is handwritten "4667286 Screw", followed by something I can't make out, then dated "4-23-64". GM says 4667286 is a Phillips oval head screw, chrome, #8-18 x 5/8".

For 1965-67 the screw at this location (carpet, at bottom of rear quarter trim panel) changed to GM 4816192, which is the same screw used to hold the pinch-welt caps on coupes for 1964-67 (pinch-welt cap screw shown in the '64 AIM on Section 1Asm, Sheet C20). It's not listed in the P&A, but my GM 4816192 screws measure #8-18 x 1/2", basically the same dimensions but with a different head-type than the GM 4667286 that was added to the 1964 AIM on 4-23-64.

The item 7 screw you referenced (64 AIM, Section 1Asm, Sheet C20), GM 9420430, is shown in the AIMs at that location through 1967, at least on convertibles. It is also called out for the coupe in 1965. In 1966 the hole is shown in the main drawing for the Coupe (1Asm-F12) but not in the "View A" close-up, and the screw is not called out at the top of the page, even though it was apparently still being used on coupes in production. In the '67 AIM (1Asm-F13) the hole that should be at the bottom of the Coupe rear quarter trim panel is eliminated from the the "View A" just like the 1966 AIM AND the hole is also now eliminated from the the main drawing, even though this indented hex washer face screw (GM 9420430) was still being used in production at this location in Coupes in 1967.
