Smile Pictures! "Rare" Hatch cover

Well thanks to all that virus bs flying around the net I had my port at school shutoff. Anyhow, a forum member asked for pics of a hatch cover I had, so here they are. I couldn't fit the regular high res pics so I hope these will suffice.

BTW I have no idea how to install it. If anyone knows, I'd be sure grateful. The corners have buttons like on the carpet covering behind the lights. I'm not sure how they connect though. There is also a hook in the middle that I don't know attatches to what.

In fact... after all this wondering about how it'll fit (I never thought about it before because I never bothered with this thingy), I'm not even sure it's a FB hatch cover! Any idears?

I've got that same rear tonneau cover-I'll get a pic of the instructions and post them here on your thread later...

BTW, do you have the rest of the mounting hardware? (screws and screw/snaps that are drilled into the rear trim for the snaps on the tonneau to connect to)

They were avail. as a factory option on the SA's, apparently. It should fit FB's no problem.

I don't know if it'll fit in anything other than an SA, as the SA had snaps screwed into the rear "deck" area.... I guess you could get your own snap things and screw them on

I hate the cover in mine. So I ripped it out as well as the rear carpets. I'm planning to get or built a custom sub pannel to cover everything back there. Right over the spare wheel hole.
