Door lock is not working. If I push down to lock the door, I can still get the door to open by pressing firmly on the outside button. It's like the pressure from my thumb on the button is enough to override the lock and open the door. I am beginning to wonder if the previous owner installed...

Put the felt on the upper quarter trim. A friend suggested using rivets to install it and I dug through my stash and came up with two candidates. The smaller one was too short and didn't extend far enough through the metal. Clamped the felt in place making sure the chrome was flush with the...

Okay, I ordered this set of rear window interior trim pieces but cannot figure how this bottom one is supposed to go in. I read an entire thread on these things but all that did was confuse me as to whether I have the right trim for my car? Mine was built in October of 1967, so a very early...

I'm still searching for a headliner and carpet. The stuff I got wasn't the right color so I sent it back. Have two places sending me samples of their blue materials.

I installed the headliner on my signature car with the windshield in place. My plan is to do the same as removing that windshield is something I cannot do by myself. The clips are all accessible so I think it can be done.

Installed the hood today.

There is a chrome piece that the rear interior quarter panels fit into. Does anyone know what they call it or have a part number for it? Trying to find stuff in my '68 Service Manual and '68 Complete Parts List is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Anyone???

S6B QQ1 here.

My darker interior trim is Bahama Blue Poly Suede and the lighter trim is Frost Blue. Frost blue on inside of door. The back window trim will be the darker color while the upper quarter panel and window trim will be the Frost Blue.

Ran into another, I need help, area. Getting ready to paint the upper rear quarter moldings and was puzzled about how to install the new felt strips when I finished the painting. They have holes in them but they don't line up with the holes in the metal. It looked like the factory used staples...
