Re: Needed 1984 Pontiac Firebird Hatch Release Switch/Button
that should be different too unless his dash was swapped for an 85+. yours is about 1 square inch gray face, his is smaller and black. if it was easier to upload pics for me id take a pic of my 83s to help out. good luck. seems like 9 out of 10 camaros had hatch poppers, while 1 out of 10 firebirds had them. no proof of those numbers but anyones that tried to find one probably feels the same way lol.

Special - to start a new thread go to the message boards, click on a forum such as Aftermarket Product Review, click on the Forum Tools drop down in the blue header and click Start New Thread.
As far as availability of defrost and hatch switches, I threw my hat in the ring back in January for these pieces. If I am next in line based on that date I hope they are available to me.
Thanks all!
