I need a glove compartment door and lock mechanism if it is worth saving. By the way does anyone know how to remove the glove compartment lock ? Cannot figure it out.
thanks

I don't know if the T-Top frame (stainless) (the one that you see when the tops are off) would fit my 74, but if they're in really nice condition I need them.
Does anyone know if they are the same size ?

Not that it makes me a difference but this topic should be in the C3 Parts Wanted /For Sale Forum. Probally should set prices on the items you want to sell too.

All that being said I am gonna run out now and see what I might need from your Pacer.

If you could post a picture with this post you would probally move your cars items pretty quick.

Yes...and no.
The tops and the trim(for the "t" bar) are quite different. The '80s cars don't even have much stainless trim up there anyway.

yup...I thought that's whut I was sayin! If you're refering to the peice that goes across the top(left/right) of the windshield, and then back to the rear in the middle, then yes, that is different.
