Product Application Notes

 Year Differences: Ghia - 68 added bulkhead reinforcement, 69 changed the reinforcement shape, and 72 changed the under dash height.

Convertibles: Ghia Conv. - Uses the same panels as hard tops. Order by year configuration.

Common installation problems:

    1. Heater Vent Lever - found on  69 ghias. Is a wire-in-spring running from kick panel area to floor heater vent. By now most have rusted/frozen and have been already taken off the car. For the ones which still work, take them off and replace with a 70 or later heat duct vent which has built in operators. As there is no way to install the levers on the panels to make them look good.

    2. Passenger Foot Rest Plate - With the passenger foot rest plate under the carpet, appearances are that the passenger side speaker panel is cut wrong, and will not fit in the car. The instructions have an easy solution - lift plate out, install panels, set plate back in place.

    3. No hardware complaints - The only hardware required to mount the panels are 4 to six trim screws which are packaged in the clear plastic film along with the panels. Often the customer throws the plastic packaging away with the screws still in it.

    4. TECHNICAL DEPT. PHONE ASSISTANCE - Technical assistance for product and installation questions is available by calling 1-940-782-4305.
