well today i was cruising in my friends RS and i for soem reason looked in the back of his car, on the inside of the car right under the hatchback there is a black curtain looking thing the covers the trunk. my SC doesnt have htat and i would really like to have one, are they hard to install? can i buy them or do i have to go to a junk tard adn strip it from an RS??? what do i have to do?

 

I believe they are referred to as cargo shades, your car should have the black plastic holes behind your rear seats for it to go in. check Third Gen Resource (blue banner add) they should have them, probably in the interior used section, maybe new though. If i'm not mistaken Year One makes them too, but i'm just guessing here. You can always look in yards for a good used one and save some cash. Good Luck

 

When I put the shade in my car I had to fabricate a couple of braces Under the panels to ahve something to bolt to. The car I got my shade from had the braces, so I measured their size and used some self drilling screws.

The rest of it was pretty straight forward, the plastic trim side moldings, fender covers actaully had lines to where to cut them out on the inside. The rear hatch (latch) piece needed to be taken from the donor car. Since it was a different color I had to remove the metal bracket from the part I bought, and cut out the slots on my hatch piece. drill a few holes for the metal bracket, and your done.

Install the shade.

thanks guys, i think they looks pretty cool, and if i expect to get an amp int he back then i need one so it wont heat up to hell

 

You'll need the plastic pieces thar the shade snaps into in the front. There is a metal bracket that GM welds to the body underneath it. Also there is a metal piece that attaches to the inside of the plastic trim of the hatch where the two T shaped pieces attach. I got a used cargo shade, then went to a local Pick-a-Part for the other items. I cut the metal brackets off with a chisel and hacksaw then riveted them into my Iroc I'm restoring, (not my 'vert).
