I've been working on these for a bit and looks like I got these figured out and will have a set installed Saturday when I have some time. I'll be cutting these Friday for the test fit.
Also looking at an option to allow for a rubberedge so there will be a better seal and reduce any vibration noise. Might add $3-4 per liner but I need to install to see how well it works. Right now I'm looking at having production available after WCR may have a few sets before pending the test fit. Also will have additional material available to modify for the flared cars that will require the installer to cut the contour and glue to the stock. if you are interested let me know here.

Updated the original thread by mistake. The issue with the rears (from what I can see) is they appear to bee to short or not wide enough. I elected to look at widening them and mounted a test piece to check the fit. I figured out that I can put a slight concave to the part by offsetting the rivet about 1/4" and I really like the shape it made when it's installed. It picks up the edge of the trunk area and fits nicely against the fender. I just need to road test these, but I'm happy with the way it fits. Kind of funny, I would have just thought of making these flat and not trying to add a coutour here, but it's almost like I planned it.
I need to road test these and I'll release them for the GB. I have made up 15 sets, so I'm glad that the fix, is actually an improvement. It also means that for those with flairs I can ship extra material and you can install an extra lip to protect your flairs using the same technique. Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() ![]() |
