The 1968 model has the BEST taillights of any year Coronet.

Man the 68 R/T tailight configuration has got to be one of the best tail light setups.....right after the 68 Charger tails that is. The 69 tail lights on the coronet always looked goofy to me with the 3 rectangles in it. After 68.....I am like that's the best you can do Chrysler? Always reminded me of one of those 3 eyed monsters or something goofy.

on our tail extensions there were holes for that chrome trim that went around the rear trunk and tail lights.

I'll let everyone know when Feb 1st hits. I have our proof of our ticket I'll post later.

Are these ok to reuse?

how would one recondition these. I’ve went though dadsbee thread and I saw him installed. Do they make repo?

what attaches to these? Long metal piece that goes around the rear view?

 

[SpartanGarage]

Here is our proof but need the time fixed. 8PM

You don't want repops.. they're junk and all break as they're too brittle. Test fit the ones you have so that they just go in the holes. AFTER the headliner is in place use a soldering tip and burn the holes open. Put these in and then gently squeeze the tabs, which will spread the longer tabs to retain them. They hold the upper windshield trim in place...

you are awesome man!

What if my metal trim piece has a hole in the center like the mirror fits through it? I can get a picture of it tomorrow.

 

[SpartanGarage]

Do you have a pic of rear view mirror installed?

If yours is cut out, someone may have put a C body mirror base in the car at some point. If you look close in the last picture you can see an indent in my trim piece from exactly that when I did so in the '80's.

Found the piece. It’s one solid with no mirror hole. What’s weird is I found a wider one with a mirror hole....

 

[SpartanGarage]

This is a very slow process. Especially since I’ve never and the students never done one. So far not bad. Looking for adhesive to use. Word is contact cement

Just a little seat covering!
