Rear side panels

Post by johnny46 » Tue Aug 19, 2014 3:47 pm

Hi all

Interior panels are coming back to me repaired etc and I have a question about the rear side plastics and how they seal around the body where the door shuts.
I have new seals for the doors but not for the body yet, anyway does the plastic just wrap around the metal body down toward the door sil plate and up to the metal piece that fixes to the body where the glass will fit like in the photos ?

And also what and where does this other plastic peice fit?

Thanks in advance

Yes the rear panels don't actually seal around the metal, they just cover it. The rear panel is secured with screws elsewhere. The other plastic piece looks like it may be a seat base cover which goes over the hinges but I'm not 100% sure.

Basically it doesn't cover the runners it covers the gap between the back support and seat bottom and back of the hinges for folding the seat forward.

And if you have new seats it is likely you won't need them.
