Help Need/Interior Questions

I recently bought a 1986 Trans am to replace my totaled 1985 Trans Am. One problem with the interior that I noticed is that, in the hatch, on the drivers side were the storage box is, the interior plastic is about one inch separated from the side of the car. Like I said I had a 1985, so I know that usually there would be 3 metal tabs that would stick out, that you would put those plastic retainers in but they are missing. I was thinking that I could go to the department store and get something along the lines of a furniture corner bracket that could be used to supplement the factory tabs.

Has anyone else has this problem and/or know of a way to fix this.

(i will post pictures later)

Thanks for reading

Re: Help Need/Interior Questions

I am talking about this side. The 3 metal tabs are missing. (they hold the plastic inserts that you push the retainers into)

Re: Help Need/Interior Questions

Is there anyone out there that has a parts car that would be willing to take them off and sell them to me?
