Re: Issues with the Rumble lid 32 Ford Coupe
I didn't see numbers on the hinges, but there does seem to be a lot of bent going on.

Re: Issues with the Rumble lid 32 Ford Coupe
Yes, something is amiss. Those horizontal braces that run from the vertical strainer to the ends of the bottoms of the troughs should be straight when viewed from the side. In your latest photos, they are both bent downward in the middle suggesting that the vertical strainers are bent rearward (assuming that the horizontal braces are the correct ones for a standard coupe).

Re: Issues with the Rumble lid 32 Ford Coupe
I was looking at it again tonight. I can't really read the parts numbers, but is it possible the triangle hinges are on the wrong sides? Also, is there a measurement on the trunk lid to tell if it is an A?

Re: Issues with the Rumble lid 32 Ford Coupe
Not likely as you'd have much worse fit issues, at the back if you switched the hinges on the lid. As for lid measurements, sorry, but I'm away from my car stuff at present.

Re: Issues with the Rumble lid 32 Ford Coupe
Judging from your photos it is evident that the car was originally a trunk model and the rumble seat was added by converting the deck lid into a rumble lid. The elongated holes in the vertical strainers suggest that perhaps the horizontal brackets used there were not the right ones for a standard coupe (there were three different versions originally and none bore part numbers to permit easy identification).

Re: Issues with the Rumble lid 32 Ford Coupe
Definately the short term answer. How do these two grey pieces mount in the car. Especially the wider one.

Re: Issues with the Rumble lid 32 Ford Coupe
Where do the pieces in the previous post go. Looks like the skinny one is where the trunk latch goes?

Re: Issues with the Rumble lid 32 Ford Coupe
I'm an A coupe owner and know there is a water drain channel that's in the latch area. My coupe is not stock though.

Re: Issues with the Rumble lid 32 Ford Coupe
Jim,
This is the best I have here, which is 1,600 miles away from my old car stuff. It might help a little. |

Re: Issues with the Rumble lid 32 Ford Coupe
Does the skinny piece go under this? The holes line up with holes there.

Jim, yes that is where the "skinny" piece will go.

Re: Issues with the Rumble lid 32 Ford Coupe
Great. Now all I need to do it drill out all the screws that a previous owner ground the heads off of.....

Re: Issues with the Rumble lid 32 Ford Coupe
OK so the big piece looks like it goes here. does the skinnier piece screw in to the back panel (where the screw were cut off on mine)? I assume it that is what the larger part screws into? if so I clearly need to drill holes in the skinny piece I have.

Re: Issues with the Rumble lid 32 Ford Coupe
Can some one post a photo of the "Skinny piece"? Mine clearly does not have the holes to match up with the upper piece. Also the upper piece does not have the hole for the latch. I'm sure it is centered, but how far in is the upper hole?

Re: Issues with the Rumble lid 32 Ford Coupe
I could be wrong but that skinny piece looks like the dam.Not needed for a trunk car.
