Boot Cover

[bob7four]

Finally getting to putting my new Legendary bootwell cover on. All of tge snaps have to be installed. My question is about the end tabs where they look like they are supposed to attach to the top of the plastic interior quarter panel. How is i938-9474t supposed to attach? There was no snap tgere originally just a hole. See Pic attached.

By the impression in the material it sure looks like something WAS there.

 

[bob7four]

Yes but what is my question.

Yes but what is my question.

There had to be a snap there in the cover as well.

Here's a great video that shows how to install snaps.

I understand I have to install the snaps and that there must have been one there. Studs orovided with cover are self tapping but there is just a hole in this location. No access to the underside unless I disassemble the interior again.

That sucks but, it seems to be the only way to install a snap in that area.

Is the snap missing on the driver side interior panel as well?

At 1:29 in the video, it shows how to install a snap post in a panel. It is not a self tapping screw and uses an anvil and punch to install properly in the panel.

Unfortunately, this looks like it has to be done with the panel out of the car.

Sorry have early A but I can snap some pix if you like. No idea if it attaches the same way.

On mine I used the snap above and reached under with a clip to catch the screw to.

Another thing to note is the boot should tuck inside the interior panel. This will impact how it fits.

I got your back Alan...

What he said is 100% on the mark. 67 Dart has the same mounting.

This is the original cover on my one family 67 dart convert

Looked at mine last night. Phone was dead by the time I got home so no pic but it had Just a little flat piece of spring steel like say the bottom half of what Kendog posted holding the snap in
