WTB,.....wierd part September 04, 2008, 04:14:41 PM I have an 88 T-bird. If they were available, I need this part.On the underside of the trunk Lid, there appears to be some sort of carpeted panel, the same color as the rest of the carpeting/panels in the trunk. This looks to cover the area from the actual trunk latch back.Does anybody have one? Quote Selected

WTB,.....wierd part Reply #5 – September 04, 2008, 10:20:24 PM I've seen one, but it was all torn up. Check out the car in the leads section with 7,000 miles. It has one. Quote Selected

WTB,.....wierd part Reply #7 – September 04, 2008, 11:40:20 PM I want one too, but I've not been able to find one. I remember them being on the Fila cars when they were new. Quote Selected
WTB,.....wierd part Reply #8 – September 05, 2008, 12:06:38 AM To the best of my knowledge, they were never installed on Turbo Coupes. We've owned probably close to 20 of them over the years. A couple have had every possible option, leather, sunroof, electronic heat/ac, etc, but we have never had one with a panel on the trunk lid. Ignore my post if you're just looking for something cool to add to your car as I do things like that too.... Quote Selected
WTB,.....wierd part Reply #9 – September 05, 2008, 12:18:44 AM I've never seen this part on an 87 88. I've seen it on several 85 and 86 cars. Quote Selected

WTB,.....wierd part Reply #13 – September 05, 2008, 03:40:29 PM AFAIK, 1986 was the last year for them on Turbo Coupes. Remember though a Cougar deck lid is different so they will not interchange. Brent:cougarsmily: Quote Selected
