Title: HELP!! What's supposed to be behind the rear seat?
Post by: lookin@my68 on August 31, 2006, 04:35:28 AM
Hello all, I don't have anything behind the back part of my rear seat - what's meant to be there?  ???

I assume there is a piece of masonite that sort of hooks on to the body there - is that right?

Can any one post a picture of theirs when it's not on the car yet? - Some measurements and angles of the perimeter would be a really big help too as I plan on making something up using a jigsaw...

Thanks in advance
Danny

There is supposed to be a trunk divider there. It's a flat piece of paper fiber board, black in color. It is hung by the top, back seat retaining hooks. They are reproduced and are not expensive; 20 bucks or so.

Danny,
You are missing the trunk divider.
68-70 ROADRUNNER/GTX/CHARGER/CORONET TRUNK DIVIDER
68-70 ROADRUNNER/GTX/CHARGER/CORONET TRUNK DIVIDER. THIS IS THE PANEL THAT SEPARATES THE REAR SEAT FROM THE TRUNK. SHIPPED OVERSIZE.

You can get one from Paddock, Year One or Legendary Auto Interiors.  The price at paddock is ~$20.

Beware, they come rolled up in a poster like appearance.  don't expect some sturdy divider cause you won't be getting that.  They are all over ebay as well.  I have one and I beefed it up(after letting it flatten out for a month) by using carpet jute type underlayment.

Thanks for all the replies.

As I am in Australia I am also going to make up one out of wood. Although it's a cheap part it's a hassle getting it over here so it would just be easier!

There is also a piece of jute padding to go over that divider.  The same type of stuff that goes under the carpet.
