hi everyone.
so still cleaning the shed out

came across these trim parts for the targa top rear latch

most are metal... one is plastic

so I went to look at my 74 driver so see if they were metal or plastic
I don't have either on the car....

can some one educate me as to what is supposed to be on a 74 model year ?

I assume metal is early... plastic later.
but honestly, I'll need to take mine apart, but do not think I have had covers on this car for decades... so wondered if they dropped the trim cover at some point?

thanks for the education
here are a few pictures of what I'm talking about

Yep. Metal early, plastic later. Maybe 73-ish but I’m not sure.
