The dreaded arm rest thread.. 42 Mercury
When I got the car from Bubba with the wall to wall carpeting door panels, no arm rests attached, but in the box of parts, two front and two rear arm rest sheet metal. Reading about how at least the fronts attach using retaining clips on the rear of the door panels and then they clip into a inner door support to provide strength. Don't know how the rears attach. And. they would appear to bolt through the door panel and the bolt heads would get covered with the fabric somewhow
I've seen some threads on arm rests, but most appear to be earlier years or pick em up trucks, so didn't know if the sedans were any different.
So, any direction greatly apreciated or pics. I'm going to make my own door panels, so starting from scratch on this.
If I do need clips and there are any out there, I'll be needing them. Sandblasting them and priming them today, so I'll hang up and listen.
