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?

I am in for one for my 1971.

Oooo-Oooo-Oooo, Mista Kotter-Mista Kotter, Me-Me-Me!!!!

One for me Mark, along with a little "Welcome Back Kotter" humor!

Out of curiosity, what did you decide to do to strengthen the long front & rear edge lips where the OEs would warp, as in that pic I sent you a while back when you were planning these?

Thanx for doing these!

I'm in for a 73. Is that early or late?

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The factory considered the late trays a superceded part that was improved to prevent the heat warping of the early tray lips, which allowed a heavier rain than the 2 drain funnels/tubes could handle, to spill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!

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!

Thank you so very much for doing these early rain trays.

Needless to say, after pestering you for so long about these, I must have one for my '70/4.

Did I read that right? Late ones are already available? Looked on the 914Rubber website but didn't see them.

Late ones are coming online in about a week we are rolling over to make these shortly after. I did bring some 1st pulls down to WCR and gave them away. We are actually looking at a slightly thicker plastic, these were a bit more than we wanted the final product to be, but they were pretty bulletproof.

Nice. I'm in for a late when they're ready.

Mark,

I'm in for one for my early 1972.

Thanks,
Mike

Add me to the line of folks who want the early rain tray. Please me when they arrive.

Hi Mark,

Thanks - I need one for my early '72.
