Hey all, Got a Top well cover from the Parts Place. How in the hell do you get the corded strip to go in the metal channel just behind the top of the rear seat? have wrestled with it, tried silicon spray, tried a screen window roller tool, warmed it in the sun and can not it to even get to start. For our trip to Duluth today I just secured it with some stick on velcro but would like to have it as it should be. Anyone have ideas or can offer practical advice from doing it?
Thanks!

I just checked mine to be sure. I don't put it on much its a pain in the ### that's why! slides on left to right or right to left. mine is factory if it does not fit in the tract they they put the wrong cord size in to fit the tract, it should be real snug mine is org. 68 442

The factory 68 used a small strip of molded plastic, not a corded strip. It fits very snugly in the channel. I can't imagine trying to get something corded into it.

The replacement boots I got for both the '68 and '69 had the molded plastic strip. Both slid right into place when I put them on.

Thanks for the input. There will be no "cord" going in that channel! I put a sticky of velcro in the middle and the sides, works perfect even up to 85mph, looks perfect too, I'm satisfied

I know I'm late to the dance here but maybe for the next time?

Are you referring to the boot or the well cover ?

In either event here is what I found.

Just bought a new boot for my 69. I removed the rear seat-back ( which of course requires the removal of the seat as well). In so doing the metal track that houses the boot ( a channel that allows easy sliding out and sliding in of the boot ) is attached with screws. If your referring to the well, after removing the metal channel, the front edge of the well material is glued over the edge of the seat back frame. After reinstalling the channel with the new boot, and the seat back reinstalled the appearance is totally finished.
