Trunk lining fasteners
Posted by Fran56 On 2012/12/28 11:25:47
New Year Greetings to the forum!
My end-of-2012 Packard project is to install the "new" trunk lining in the '56 Patrician. I bought a trunk lining kit at one of the Packard meets back in '01 and am now satisfied that I won't be getting paint on it in the near future, so in it goes.
The lining panel on the rear of the back seat is held on with 10 fasteners - Packard Part # - 339437 which I believe I have pictured below (It was the only fastener left in either the X or top support) so I am assuming that it is what was originally used by the factory.
Restoration Specialties has something close to the original in their #3885, but the original clip, and the Restoration Specialties clip are difficult to remove once installed, and I was wondering what others have done to fasten this panel for easier removal in the future. Possibly some sort of a wire clip with a button?
I do understand that this may be a moot point as how many times do you need to remove that panel once it is installed, but since I am in the process I thought I would canvas those who have gone before me with this for their thoughts.
Thank you all for a great site.
