Question: Rear Compartment Door

[u2bdet]

Making real progress on interior restoration , aside for the few dumb questions I had ...how does it go? "there are no dumb questions ..only dumb...." that cant be right otfl Any ways ..is there a method / trick for installing the hinge wires to the frame on the rear compartments ? Doesnt seem possible unless I cut the wire into 1" pieces !!!

If memory serves, the hinge wires pull out from the underside of the compartment frame.

The AIM doesnt show the assembly. I already have the frame mounted ,after installing the new carpet , guess I have to take the frame out and start again ad

...The AIM doesnt show the assembly....

Frame and doors came from the manufacturer already assembled and with the doors carpeted. All they needed to do on the assembly line was to select the correct color and install the locks.
