Does anyone have or has seen advertised the rear window tray for a 69? I've never seen one advertised. Appreciate any feedback.

Thanks for the reply. I checked out the E-bay listing. Regarding the cracks, is it repairable? Is this a plastic piece? My car didn't have one when I purchased it so I've never seen one or know how it's attached. Appreciate any input.

They are made out of a pressed fiber board material. There are two spring type hinges that screw into the rear wall portion of your storage area. Just below the rear window, there is a spring type latch that holds the tray up. I looked at the unit on ebay and it did not appear to have the two rear hinges. I don't know where you can get them either. I'm missing the front spring latch and thought I had one located, but sent the money and never got the part (got stiffed). My recommendation is look for one that has the hinges. The front latch I think can be found from people that have cars listed as salvage, as it is rivited on and doesn't get lost like the panel can.

My tray has half of the hinges. Probably the other half are available through a corvette salvage dealer, as most folks who remove those trays leave the other half of the hinges in the car. They look simple enough to fabricate. I have the handle part of the front spring clip that holds the window, but the spring clip itself is missing. The tray is sturdy enough, it does have some cracks. It did hold a window. Not trying to put the hard sell on anyone, just trying to help.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'll have to go out to the storage garage and take a better look under there..
