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 brant Attached thumbnail(s) |

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