Cann somebofy that has one of these privacy shades that roll out in the back of the hatch area tell me how it attaches once its rolled out? I have mine installed, it did not come with it originally, i have an 87 firebird, I bought the round pieces that the roill attaches to that i had to cut the plastic out on the rear panels, but when i roll it out to extend it, I cannot figure out where it would attach to stay out, understand? Hope i explained it right. I think it goes near the rear hatch motor that closes the hatch tight automatically but i dont see any telltale outlines of where something would go , help!!!!!

 

The shade is supposed to go up with the hatch when you open it.
The plastic panel under the hatch glass had two holes/notches for the two things sticking out of the shade handle to go into. They were in the middle on the edge of the plastic nearest to the glass.

My car originally came with the privacy shade but it doesnt have one now. It has those two holes for the shade to attach to.

 

I have that panel in black if you need one, it has a metal piece under it that holds the cover.

 

Can you show mw a picture of the part? I might be interesdted in it, mine are gray but I could paint it i guess.

 

Have 1 in grey in the shed that i used as template to cut the holes in my red one.I'll get pix and of the metal piece.There is also a set of metal mounts that go to the boy under the panels where the blk pieces mount to to hold the roller section in place.Hope ya got them.I didn't and it all came loose goin down the road.Scared the hell outta me when it all rolled up to the window like that.I went back and cut them out then (for now)screwed em in place.DSoon as i find the old pop riviter gonna rivit em down.

 

I do have the metal pieces that go under the panels for the black plastic holders of the shade, I just need the piece for it to attach to once its rolled out, if you have one in good shape let me know , if its gary I will be interested

 

Soon as i have time will go fetch it from the shed and try ta post or send ya a pic.Cover shippin and hell ya can have it.It's just takin up space out there.

 

thanks! sounds good to me, will cover shipping, no pic neccesary if you say its good, lets do it, at your convinience, let me know how much and lets do it.

 

ok NP.May have time this weekend to go dig it out.Since i have a few those pull out sections now thought i'd find out what makes the broke one not tick.Pretty simple so gonna try ta fix it and if it works out goonna fix the newer one of the ones i have.May even try ta replace the material for somethin red ta match my red/blk interior.Just gotta remember where i put that pop rivit gun.Oh well if push comes ta shove i'll buy another.I'll hollar when i can.Off ta bed now later all....Bill

 

Ok yo Elwood .Do have the grey one.Will post pic of it.Will holla soonest have to run ta store BBL.It has the holes for the pull back and the latch but hasn't had the opening for the elec contact cut out yet.Will pict it so ya can see.Later ......Bill

 

well, thats ok, if its good condition, I can try to cut the opening out for the electric contact , does it have a outline there ? just wondering

 

Yea has the outline.Sorry but wifes dryer blew up the other morning so spent the weekend trackin down another and doin that install.Anyways plan ta get pic up in the am .The reason plan ta pic it is because like red theres about 30 different shades of grey.This isn't a light grey more of a med grey.Anyways will pic it just the same.Still have to figure out weight and shipping.But be happy ta just get it out the way b4 it gets ruined.Also have a switch contact with the grey piece for the lower section if ya need it.

 

I put a cargo shade in my camaro a few years back and I just carefully cut two small "T" shape holes in the plastic piece on the bottom of the hatch, under the spoiler. I didn't realize I needed that piece when I bought it, but I had to cover up all my amps. Personally, I would use the correct part,(just haven't yet) but I'm sure you can easily make it work if you have to.

 

Shoot since I have a spare of the metal piece maybe I can measure it out do some kind of dimensional type thing and get it into the forum for future referance like the dimensions of the sub well box for the hatch area.
