Storage Compartment Door (Page 1/1)

Hello All,

When I purchased the 1988 GT, it had a cobbled door on the storage compartment between the seat backs.

I sourced a couple of replacements but noted that the plastic bases were distorted and the trim had shrunk from the sides. I am getting new seat covers from MrMikes so I ordered extra trim materials for the door.

Meanwhile, the distorted bases were tackled. The latch, padding, and upholstery were stripped from the base and a fixture was created to attempt to flatten the plastic base. The first try was not successful so modifications were made to the fixture and a second try was made. This was successful!! I now have a very flat base onto which the padding and upholstery can be added, the hardware installed, and put into the car. The planned upholstery will match the new seat covers.

If there is anyone else who would like their storage door plastic base flattened, please contact me and we can make it happen.
