Rear package tray replacement..

On a 72 Supreme what's involved and what else would I need besides the tray itself? Checked the CSM and didn't find anything...
Thanks,
Dave

What parts are you referring too? The cardboard/top finished or the metal components.

That's because except for the dashboard, all the interior service items are covered in the Fisher Body Manual.

You'll need to remove the rear seatback to get to the glued strip at the leading edge of the package tray, and the seat bottom has to come out to get the seat back out. You'll also probably need to remove the garnish moldings around the sides of the package tray.

The cardboard top and the mesh fabric.

the seat bottom has to come out, then the seat top, then both side panels, where the window cranks are, , and the rear corners package tray hold downs, and the if you have the side courtesy light you can just take the screws out and pull the side sail panel covers up , but you dont have to totally remove, slide the old one out, replace the underlayment , slide the new one in, use the 3m best glue for the front edge, tape the edge down and let the glue dry for a hour, remove the tape and go in reverse to put back together, a good 3 hour job, Tim
Legendary has the mesh and non mesh, my opinion the best quality

Or you can do something custom like this...……


My mom made this hook-loop carpet that I laid out for her in...…...1985. She was big into making the Skillcraft hook-loop carpets that came in kits popular in the '70s and '80. Probably cost a whole $30 in stuff available at Hobby Lobby. Sure it ain't stock, but I think looks pretty cool.

Hey Joe where is it covered in the body manual? I checked the index and didn't see anything that referred to the package tray.
