: trunk divider installation??

Hi guys,
I got a trunk divider for my 72 convertible the other day. It didn't come with any instructions on how to install. I'm in no hurry as they sent me the wrong matting that goes on it. Got it from OPG. I see there is a perferrated line across the long edge, top or bottom I don't know and a couple of perferrated knock out holes which I don't think I'll need. Anyway, I hope it goes where I intended to use it, in the trunk to seperate the trunk from the convertible top liner. If anyone knows please help me out. Thanks.... Matt

On my '70 the perforated lines were bend lines to make it fit around/over features. Stick it back in there, I think it will make since. Good Luck.

I just put mine in, You will need to knock out some of the perforated holes for the panel to hold onto the bulkhead.

Jody's right. If yours is anything like my '71 coupe, the knockouts go over little "hooks" build into the bulkhead frame (the metal brace that separates the trunk from the cabin). The panels on the bottom that bend are to allow the wiring through without pinching.
I agree, set it in there . . it'sll make sense.
