    Hey guys,

    Working on the interior of my 72 and I got a replacement part for m package tray. Unfortunately due to the plastic being rather brittle because of all the years of sun damage i broke off a piece of the plastic molding that sits to the right and left of the package tray on top. I don’t know what that part is called. I’m assuming its some sort of rear trim/molding. I attached a picture to illustrate where/what I mean.

    **note this isn’t my maverick. I don’t have a picture on me right now...

    My question is what is that part called!!! and where would I be able to locate one. I have tried a few junk yards in my area and the maverick selection is...bare...


    Thanks guys,
    -Clay

    I'm guessing these are the parts in this thread? There are plastic and metal versions. I repaired my plastic ones as shown, the pins were broke off...

    That is the part. Sorry for my poor description. Last night i took the many pieces together and super glued them. I plan on lightly sanding them later and fresh coating them.

    Where can you get the metal options? That might be a good way to go....

    Someone on here probably has a set as well as keeping your eye on ebay. Pretty common to find but well worth the change. For the price I would just get a good set and waste your time trying to piece part a set together.

    The metal versions are in earlier cars, I believe 1970 model year only.

    I had pins break on my plastic versions, and I smoothed them from underneath (leaving the upper grainy surface untouched). The I used 2 part epoxy and glued flat head machine screws where the pins used to be. It is not a part that has to be tightened down hard, so this worked well.
