Not sure what the Repro. back panels are looking like these days? insulation? But either way, you want the part you see, looking into the trunk from behind the car...to be Black. Hope that helps.

Zach,
Seen this discussion before, as you can guess there are two "view points" on this. This is what I did and what I believe is correct. When looking in the trunk you should see the black divider board, not the insulation.
To install remove the back seat and backrest (two bolts) and hang the divider board. I had to cut one hole in the board because the prestamped holes did not match up. Then hang the insulation and reinstall the rear seat.

Mike,
The other "view point" is hanging the insulation then the divider board. So when viewed from the trunk side you see insulation, not the board. I've seen a car or two at shows with this arrangement. Although I've seen nothing authorative on how it should be installed, I think it just makes sense to have the board facing the trunk.

OH...I thought maybe somebody here at ye ole TC had a "other" point of view smile.gif

You are 100% correct Dale with the way it is installed and though I may not be the AUTHORITY you seek :D ...you can still take it to the Bank ;)
