Have been doing some deep Spring cleaning in the car and found this flap or cover, tucked behind the center console storage box ("third seat") and the back pad. It's about 5" x 7", stiff thick leatherette or thin plastic and has four holes in it (none of which match any screws in/under the console storage box.
I've not been able to find it listed/shown in any of the interior/body parts diagrams. Anyone have any idea what it is and/or where it goes? As an original owner, I know it's not some PO leftover. Thanks ever so much! Attached thumbnail(s)

I've seen a few similar pieces before in the same area you mentioned....it's a thin plastic about the same thickness as the center cushion box/holder...the screws used were about the same size as the ones on the early seat belt holder at the rear of the seat back along the outside...

Did you ever have an aftermarket console in it. Like an Amco or something.

QUOTE(rgalla9146 @ Mar 25 2020, 03:32 PM) have AC ? Nope. It sort of matches the other material. Will take out the backpad and see if any clues there. The way it was rolled up between the backpad and the console box I doubt it would have slipped off anything far away. Don't remember doing any customization back there, but then at my age I sometimes have a hard time remembering what I had for dinner last night! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
