Here is our used 1971-73 lower rear window channel which we will cut to suit your needs. Quite often vinyl tops will cause rust in this area and this part is cut from a rust free Western parts car. Tough to find rust free, Ford installed the trunk lid gasket to the surface of the trunk opening. There may be a bit of erosion or pitting, we have very few remaining on our relatively rust free cars due the to layout of the trunk gasket. If you need the package tray attached there is no extra charge, but shipping costs will increase. We usually cut generous into the quarters and several inches up the sides of the rear glass. If you only need one side contact us as we can help.
Included are the trunk hinges, they are spot welded to the under side. Some Cougars will need an additional hole drilled in the hinge arm. You will also have to reuse your threaded inserts. There are two sizes of inserts between 1971 and 1973. Compared, it will be relatively obvious where the holes need drilling. Two different sizes of the inserts.
