Installing 66 Convertible quarter panel snaps
« on: March 07, 2010, 11:23:35 pm »
Three of my quarter panel snaps have come out of my trim panel in my 66 convertible. I have bought some new ones but do not know how to secure them once they are pushed through the trim panel as I cannot find instructions anywhere. Can anyone help with information on what I use to install these. Thanks

Go talk to the local motor trimmer (upholsterer) they will give you the knowledge you need.

Being a public holiday in SA today I thought I would give this a go. I got the trim panels off after removing the rear seat and then used rivets and small washers to secure the snap studs. It worked a treat.
