There were two different lids: the "taller" and the "shorter". What that site has listed is the cover for the taller lid, latch in the front.


I think I'm confused now. :hick:

I have 87-88 style in my car now... I want a full lenth. I remember right after I got my license, the first time I drove to the yard, there was an 83-84 Cougar with tan interior and had the console... I wish I would have know then what I know now.

It's a leather cover made for the lid.As I stated,I bought the shifter boot from them in leather,VERY nice product.I have a "like new" lid in the garage waiting for installation after paint.The lid I have in the Sport now has the cap that is made from the dashcap plastic material.It has a nice grain texture to it,and fit great.It was pretty cheap as well.I just have mine sitting on the console.It's snug enough it doesn't fall off.It's supposed to be installed with an adhesive.I'll get the leather one eventually.

I purchased one of these lids from this same company.  Mine fit fine, worked fine, and dyed rather nicely.  I ordered it black and dyed on top of that.  Vinnie is correct, it is made of the same stuff as the dash caps.  The only time you can really tell it is a cover is when the lid is open.  I did some dying to the underside prior to attaching the cap, and it is a decent fix.
