I have a '71 Vista Cruiser, with PW & PDL. The drivers door splash shield has 2 "pockets" of thin plastic (like the thickness of a Zip Lok bag), one of them to protect the PDL switch. See pictures below.
The pictures are the drivers side. Note there is no "pocket" for the 4 switch PW, and there is an extra "pocket" that I have no idea what it's for.
Also, not easy to see in the pictures but the pocket was a true pocket, glued down, then one side cut out for the switch connector.

The passenger side splash shield is missing. I have a roll of splash shield paper to remake the shield but am looking for the plastic "pockets".
I would think any A body with PDL or possibly PW would have these. I don't need the shields per se, just the "pockets". But will take the whole shield if you have any.
Worst case I'll try fabricating my own.
Yes, not a big deal, but would like to make it as stock as possible.

BTW the rear shields have a molded thin plastic pocket (all 4 sides glued down) and the switch connector comes through a hole in the shield adjacent to the pocket.

Thanks! Karl

 

Check the meat cooler at your local grocery store......they have vacuum packed ground meat in 1 lb squares and the formed side of the plastic for this "container" is the same square shape (about 4-1/2" x 4-1/2") and about 1 to 1.25" deep. Peel off the flat plastic "backer" opening and you're left w/a clear plastic square "pouch". Eat first and then clean the plastic well and it seems like it would work....assuming the size is close.

 

Thanks! Had not thought of that!

 

Bumping an old request, still looking. The meat pouch idea didn't work out.

 

Just to add a visual to this. I'm pretty sure this is the plastic 'pocket'/cover for the driver's PW 4-switch. I think it was placed in a hole cut into the black moisture barrier, I'll have to go out to the garage and find that...

 

Thanks Jay for the picture. If you can find the moisture barrier I'd appreciate a picture of that.
I'm assuming this was from your '72? My '71 was a very late build (3rd wk of June) and does not have the Pwr Window switch pocket.
I'm guessing the pockets were added for the PDL late in '71 and then the Pwr Window switch pocket was added for '72, but that's just a guess.

 

Welcome. Yes, my '72. I'll get out to the garage to see where I laid it. Not sure when these were used but I would assume somewhere in the 60s or whenever they started putting moisture barriers?

 

Bump
Tried a few DYI approaches such as vacuum forming, but didn't turn out well.
Thanks
