Anybody have any pictures (or direct me to) of the hinge attachments for the rear window storage tray located in compartment behind rear seats. Could also use a pict of the front latch.
There is nothing in my car and although I have the tray not sure how or what parts I need to install!
Thanks in advance!

Hi rayvette hope this helps you should have one each side on the rear panel that the interior light is on

The photo is taken on the drivers side so the bolts on both are on the inside towards the light

Hi 1050,
Since all 68-72 coupes had the rear window tray you should see the holes for the 4 bolts you see in sug's picture even if the hinge is missing. There is a plate riveted to the other side go the fiberglass bulkhead that has receives the bolts.
The front latch varied a bit from year to year. What year is your car?
Regards,
Alan

Here's a picture of the spring latch from my 71.

Added this feature to my 77. Here's a pic of the latch that was removed from a 72 if it helps.

Looks like the hinge and the front latch also has a backing plate rivited to the wall on the opposite side. You can see the rivet heads on all the above pictures. If you just get the hinges and latch only, the screws will have nothing to screw onto unless you can get to the other side and add nuts and washers. In that case, it will be a two man job and a hoist.

Maybe wellnuts or rivenuts might do the job.

Hi,
Steve's right the plate was riveted as I mentioned.
Even when the hinges are gone the plate is often there because there's no reason to remove it.
The upper rivet is a little clearer in this picture than in sug's.
Regards,
Alan

Thank you all for the replies and pictures...all good information.
I'll look for the holes (or plates) on the back wall...haven't seen them yet and see if I can pick up some hinges at Hershey this weekend.
Thanks again
