I found one of these on the floor. It appears to possibly be a tab or hook that at one time was used on the seat back to fit in the slot in the vehicle structure between the seat and the trunk. If so, then both hooks have broken off during the discourse of the last 50 years or so.

I did find the tabs on the bottom of the seat back, but like I mentioned earlier, they were found just flopping around loose with no fasteners.

This is my '65 Valiant Signet convertible rear seat back area. I don't see any hooks on the vehicle frame for the seat back and don't see any hooks on the seat back itself. Weird.

OK thanks. However, come to find out, on my vehicle evidently the previous owner did not attach the seat back anywhere or anyhow. After reading the posts here, when I tried again I was able to free both sides of the seat back right and left (the plastic seat was kind of stuck to both of the...

I removed the lower cushion successfully using the normal procedure: push like hell toward the rear and lift at the same time. But on the '65 convertible models, how does one remove the backrest seat cushion? Thank you. (trying to dry things out after the wind/rain hit here a couple of days ago).

I used silicone spray before unzipping and was able to zip the window back up again (that is one heavy-duty metal zipper!).

What happens if I try to "unzip" the rear window? Will it lower so I can restore some rear visibility again? I have never tried it in the ten years or more I have owned the vehicle. Thank you.

Must be rare option, my "65 Signet convertible has no factory air.

Was a significant section is patched, can the top be lowered any longer or is that a definite no-no?

This regards a '65 Signet convertible. The first repair was to a section about 3-4 inches long. I had an upholsterer "sew" it closed and I glued on some kind of patch over that. Well, the stitches for some reason fell out or rotted and I peeled off the half-*** glued-on patch. Now the damage has...

Not sure, but I believe this is a product that can be used in that area:

My '65 factory service manual (page 23-65, windshield installation, AV models) recommends using "mineral spirits" as a lubricate to insert mylar trim strip. Never heard of a real person following such a procedure.

What are these tubes called (one missing), where do they go, what do they do? We are looking at '65 Signet convertible. Thank you.

You aren't a breast man, then?

It's called doing it "a la Mexicana".

Found on Mexican website:

Jaw-dropping and impressive even at first glance, no not the supermodel, the car!

I don't remember my '65 Barracuda Formula S having a sliding alignment tab inside the door latch, I thought it was fixed in place. Unless it was stuck/frozen. My question is this, is the sliding tab from a '65 Signet Convertible (shown in the three progressive photos below) a specific...

I tore a hole in the convertible top of my '65 Plymouth Signet. I don't know how it happened exactly. However, I believe there is some trick to folding the interior padding so it does not get caught on the scissors parts of the trellis. It would be wonderful to see how someone raises and lowers...

Looks like one don't it? No, but it suffered some rust damage as a daily driver when it was driven in the Seattle area.

The fotos are taken of a '65 Valiant Signet Convertible. I don't remember seeing these "extra" door stops on my other '65 ABodies (non-convertibles). I am referring to the chrome "wedgies"and their accompanying spring-loaded rubber bumpers above the normal door latch. Thank you.

Fender Skirts? The location of this beauty is listed as Germany: https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/plymouth/valiant/1903232.html

What would be a fair price in today's market (for both buyer and seller) for a vehicle like this nice '65 Valiant convertible. Obviously (for me) the asking price of $19,995 is a little high. Maybe someone here has sold a similar car in the recent past? Thank you...

Is it possible to strip a vehicle for paint and re-use the convertible top you took off?

I have a '65 manual top Valiant Signet and did not know anything about pulling the material out and away from the pinch areas. I would have to push and push very hard in order to get the top down far enough to latch it down/open. This worked for several years until I finally ripped the top on...

Purchased this daily driver '65 Valiant Signet convertible in Port Angeles, Washington. Drove it all the way (2,250 miles) to La Paz, Baja Califonia Sur, Mexico where it now awaits restoration. It's a "little" rusty. It still has the original heat shield type exhaust manifold gaskets installed...

That factory guide is for an electric/hydraulic top. I wonder if the manual top guide would have been the same.

I just had my top sewed where it had torn and now I need to place a patch on top. Found some vinyl patch and glue at ACE hardware that is advertised for pool liners and other vinyl stuff. Is there another type of patch material I should find or just go with the ACE hardware product? P.S. I glued...

Are the stay pads the extra foam things on the inside that cushion the metal arms? I thought those had to be in place to cushion the arms and not tear the top. Maybe I have this all wrong. All I was doing was unlatching the top and then pushing like heck down on the top to engage the two locking...
