The Ford Barn - View Single Post - 34 3 Window Coupe

The rumble seat hinge components are common with the 5-window, cabriolet, and roadster. There was no outside handle on the coupes and cabriolet, only on the roadster. The latch is controlled inside the cab right behind the package tray on the right side. The coupe and cabriolet lids are spring assisted and when properly adjusted will gently open the lid fully when the latch is deactivated inside the car.

I'd guess that a strainer to support the upper back panel and lid latch attached thereto was not added. PM me if you want photos of the various components involved if you are interested in retaining a rumble seat.

Because of the number of hobbyists who prefer trunks to rumble seats, anything not reproduced is normally easy to obtain as take-offs.
