Package tray material for 69 mach 1
« on: June 26, 2019, 10:38:08 PM »
My package tray is warped and not sure if it is original. It looks like cardboard/pressboard material the kind used for school notebook.  I purchased a replacement from NPD and you can see the link below. Question is, what is the original material of package tray and how does the middle front part get held down? I only have the trim pieces that hold it down in the corners. A picture would be great. thanks

The panel was a Masonite product (wood shavings and saw dust with a bonding agent and pressure to for the sheet) shaped for the application

Texture of the panel




Between it and the package tray was a thin sheet of insulation - brown in color with a pressed waffle like pattern. Panel continues all the way up the back and is visible from the trunk side




Further forward



Forward edge of the panel is held down by a trim strip that runs just behind the rear seat upper section as visible in the picture below  - the white stripe in the picture which has a end cap of sorts one at each end

does anyone sell that trim strip?  I have something that runs along the same way but is a metal frame and held down with screws. I guess i can take the screws off and look but appeared to be attached to the whole package tray frame

Need to find someone that has parted out or has converted a non- fold down car to a fold down one and has these parts left over. As mentioned you will likely need the end trim pieces also

I have the end trim pieces but not that long trim strip that would normally hold most of the front side down

I invite you to put a wanted ad in that section of the site - might get more looks there - and everywhere you can. Someone has one sitting on a shelve somewhere
