My question is about the black carpet like insert on the bottom of the center console glove box for camaros.I have seen them mostly on earlier models(82-83) and was wondering if anyone knows exactly what years these were installed.

 

Interesting. I've never seen one. Anybody have a pic?

I have it in my 83 Z28. I will try to get pics.

 

Reason i ask is that I recently pulled a console top from a 1982 berlinetta with a very nice working console clock and installed it in my 86 iroc.It has the black carpeted bottom insert in the glove box

 

I went out and looked in the console in my 83 Z28.Sure enough it has the carpeted insert.That's a neat little detail to keep things from rolling around on bare plastic.

 

here is a pic. The ruffled spot is over top a screw that I had to take out to remove the console.

 

Is this piece glued in or simply laid in place? Does it match the carpet or are all of them black?

I have that too in my 84. Mines glued and its black but my carpet is blue.

 

Everyone I have seen is Black in color and most of them are glued down.However the one in my console is just placed in the bottom and is not glued down.It still has the original backing on it too

 

So I'm bringing back a 7 year old thread!!

My 84 HAD this carpet but I had to remove it to take the center console off. Doing this destroyed the carpt so I cut some dynomat to the best shape that I could but I am not happy with the results.

Does anyone know of a replacement carpet (or anything) for the center? I can't just not use anything because of the insane amount of adhesive that the factory used - it's extremely sticky and messy....
