Commonly referred to as a "boot", pretty hard to find.

Keep an eye on ebay and this forum, if I find one I'll post it up here.

I found one and sold it to a member here about 3 months ago.

AZ was very generous and sold the one he found for like $100 or $150.

Most go for well over $200 - $250.

If you keep looking and find one for under $200... snap it up... it's a good buy!

good luck!

I sold mine for $100, and ate it on the shipping.

No one makes them since ASC did it in 92-94.

It's molded vinyl, so it's be real hard to replicate well.

Most were lost by original owners, I'll bet there are hundrds of them stashed in closets across the US.

My replacement one came from a lady who took hers out of the trunk in 1992, stuck it under the bed, never took it out of the bag, and left it there for 13 years. I was the first person to open it.

Since mine was nice, but not PERFECT, I sold mine that came with the car.

It tucks in under the "lip" (where yours has all those snaps), there's a plastic "ziplock" piece that clips along the metal ridge at the top of the back seat, and 2 snaps on each side pillar.

Damn retards that redid the top!! Its gonna be a pain in the but to correct that ignorance. sheesh I think I am going to have to replace all the interior side panels, as the dumb*** has put screws all over to keep the panel inserts in place and the lip pieces on the top of the rear quarter trim. I am starting to notice other little idiotic things he did that need to be corrected as I go.

Thanks for the response Greg.

previous owner did that with my cloth inserts as well. I had an interior shop recover the inserts and reattach them properly.
