    1967, 1968, 69-70 Trap Door

    Hey, anyone know the difference between 67-68 and 69-70 trap doors?  They look REAAAALLY alike....

    I'm looking for a trap door (if it works with a non-fold down system) and preferably (I guess)  the trim/sheet that goes there

    The folding parts are the same, the latches, kickstand and small stuff is different. Wish I could find the link to a plethora of info on them. You're a bit late or I'd have traded my fold down for your top loader

    That sucks, would have been a fair trade.

    I don't know the name of the panel that covers the Trap Door Area.......So I'm looking for a Trap Door (if it works on a non fold down backseat) or the Non Fold Down Panel to cover that hole

    The non fold downs used a different panel instead of the trap door.  I remember an article years ago where they repaired a trap door cut for speakers by using a non-fold down panel.

    The trap doors are reproduced (not sure about the non-fold down panels).  I got one from Dynacorn to cut up for speaks and it looked and fit just like the factory one, which I didn't want to butcher for speakers.

    Thanks TKO,

    I'm aware they made both a door and a panel, what I really need to know is of I can use a Trap Door in A Non Trap Door Application (or will there be Large gaps and or whatever along the bottom)

    Pretty sure it would work, because the rear trim panels aren't any different.
