does anyone have any of those little blank plates that go behind the shifter in the consule on an early car? I had the last ones in erin's car that i owned and she vaccumed the car out yesterday and one of them got sucked out. I need a couple more and im gluing them in this time.

I bought some from Pelican yeasrs ago, CHEAP. You might consider looking there. Even with shipping I think it was less than $5.

You can't get them out of the vacuum?

Semi OT - what about those carpet pieces on the sides / top of the center console? Anybody know their dimensions or have a printable template?

I just got rid of my carpet around the shifter, I think it looks great. I do need to do something about the carpet on the sides of the console though.

get some $10 black carpet from autozone, cut it how you want, put some 80 3M adhesive or some vinyl upolstry glue on there and wala. Doesnt have the beading around it but who will really notice.

the carpet surrounding the shifter i think looks better gone too. that is way too expensive for a less than 1"x.5" piece of plastic. its not rocket science. i need one too...sucked into the giant vac system at my old job, but retrieved two of three. the junkyard i go to has the consoles completly gone. hope you get yours.

All three pieces are gone on my car and for whatever reason the plastic on the sides of the console doesn't look too great, probably from adhesive keeping the carpet on. There are also some staple holes around the edges of the console. The carpet and the map pockets... no telling where those escaped over the years.

I didn't think they used adhesive on those...I thought the carpet was just stapled on.

You can see the plastic texture on mine but it's worn and flat towards the front (both) side, almost like someone tried polishing or buffing it. I wouldn't have put it past a previous owner... someone went to the effort to remove only the S from the 924S sticker on the car before I bought it. Wish the car could talk, it'd have something interesting to say about somebody.

I bought a few switches to fill the empty holes in Hershey- The blanks were 1$, 3 way switches were .50.

Yeah. I'm cheap. but the switches will come in handy one day..

My car already had switches in the spots...slowly over the years I have found uses for them...
