Just picked up a replacement nose cover and support for my 92 Bird, and foolishly took the Bird to pick up these parts :-P Should've taken the truck, lol. Anyways, I thought I'd be OK once I pullled the retractable cargo cover out (that fabric sheet that unrolls like a window shade, covers the cargo area when the hatch is down). Neither myself nor the guy I was getting parts from could get the thing out. Do I need some sort of tool to get it out of the mounts? I tried pulling it and twisting it, altho I didn't try too hard for fear of breaking it. Also, can I pull it completely apart to replace the fabric? Mine has faded from a navy blue color to a funky purple color, would like to get new black fabric if possible. thanks

 

Mine comes out by pushing in either side and then lifting up. I don't think the fabric is easily replaceable but i may be wrong.

 

"pushing in either side"-you mean the u-shaped pieces of plastic on either side?

 

You got it, they are spring loaded. I have found several in the junkyards that have been in excellent shape, both the cloth ones and the simulated leather ones:lala: :lala: . The simulated leather one that is in my car now only cost me my time to pick it up and clean it.
