Topic: 67 convertible trunk divider clip

[ruppstang]

I am looking for the clip the retains the trunk divider at the top like in the picture. I cannot find it in the assembly manual. If someone knows where to find them or a part number that would be great.

I looks to me like 358407 is the fastener number for the clip.

1. The interior assembly manual is of very poor quality, but I think I can see 358407-S2 - 3 required.
2. I did a search for that in all of the documents I have, and it only showed up in the 1958 Ford parts & accessories catalog, but associated with convertible folding top compartment trim.
3. Then I found it in Jim's spreadsheet to seal the deal.

Looks like ones used on a coupe?

Here are the specifications.  If you need some I can go shopping at the junkyard - let me know.

Yes, John that is it! Now to find some. It would be a pain to get off a junk car as it is under the top and well Linner.

Thanks again.

Marty : John "beat me" to the Part Number, but by a different method. Instead of the ASSEMBLY manual, I looked at the 1969 Standard and Utility Parts Book. Due to the uniqueness of the cLip, I figured it would be easy to spot. Sure enough, it shoed up (see attached). Note that there is a symbol shown before the part Number ; I couldn't find a legend for this symbol in the 1969 book, but I have a feeling that it might signify " Not Serviced - Factory Only". Then out of curiosity, I looked in the 1965 S&UP book ; it showed op there also (no symbol shown). Then I went back to my 1959 S&UP book (interestingly, the 1959 version also includes applications for most of the Hardware Part Numbers). The 358407 shoeed up in the 1959 with the application listed for the 1958 Convertible Top Storage Compartment. If the 358407 was "Not Serviced", this may help if you can't find a 67 that has these clips. Unfortunately, I won'y know if I have all of mine until I get to our Colorado place (where you may remember my 67 is) until June or July.

Hope this helps.

Most of the convertibles in this particular yard have had the tops removed, and I have power tools lol.  If you strike out elsewhere let me know.

Wow it is hard to believe that there are convertibles still in a junk yard. That must be a good one.

There's a 65 K-code, red with black interior, 4-speed with locking axle.  Of course just about everything is gone.  Might have clips!

A few year ago I pulled out a 68 Cougar R-code.  There are five 1969 Mach 1's.  GTO, Cyclone, 442, Charger... It is like walking back in time.

Thanks for the detective work. How is your car coming along?

Wow those would be some great cars, especially  the K convertible.

Looks like a long weekend project.
