Re: Rear Hatch 87 GTA

hatchs for these cars are so cheap, i have 3 sitting around and i cant even give them away! thos tabs you speak of are hard to come by as far as i know, im sure if you wanted you can put on a diffrent window trim that doesnt have thos clips

Re: Rear Hatch 87 GTA

I took the front 2 clips (one on each side) when I put my 4th gen wing on, but now I'm kinda wishing I hadn't. The tips of the wing rub the body, so there are 2 small rub spots. The clips coulda held it up off the body.
