Got the early rain trays going. These should be of "Garvey " Quality. Only late ones are currently available, now you can get the correct one for your car.
So who's up for one?

Early was 70-73 MYs for sure, & maybe 74 too - if Steve G or Jeff Bowlsby or one of the other original 74 owners will chime in. I'm not sure of the exact change date.

Late was 75-76 for sure, & any factory replacement tray purchased later on 75-ish on (depending on stock at the dealer).

The factory considered the late trays a superceded part that was improved to prevent the heat warping of the early tray lips, which allowed a heavier rain than the 2 drain funnels/tubes could handle, to spill over the front edge, get behind the sisal engine bay side pad & rust the firewall & ledge/shelf.

Very early 70-72 cars didn't have a sound pad, so possibly not as much of a concern.

Don't ask me how I know! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Ergo, Mark & I having gone thru the need for a fix on them way back when he was first planning to do them months ago. Knowing Mark, his should be a superior product that still looks right!
