1969 Charger B-Body Sill Plate Extensions Install Question

[robl72]

I have a 69 Charger and I am trying to install a set of the sill plate extensions shown below. Does anyone have some good pictures of how they install correctly and fit into the base of the rear seat side panel. My side panels seem to bend over onto the rug at the bottom not allowing them to install. Any help and pictures is appreciated.

Thank you!

This was my car when I pulled it apart. I had a hard time when I put it back together. Once you find the holes they will start to fit.

View attachment 1426785 Thank you. do you have a pic of the big sill plate sitting on top of the extension so I can see how that fits on it

 

[robl72]

Also it’s tough to tell from the pic. Does the U shape end go towards the front or the rear?

Just blow it up. But it does go to the front.

There is a left and a right. The "fork" goes under the sill plate to pick up the sill plate screw. The "hole" goes to the rear and screwed into it's hole in the floor.

I believe there is a clip that is under the car for that rear screw? It clips on the frame rail proper.

That clip's a WAY too far back for the carpet trim. Not sure what it's for... that's about the bottom edge of the rear seat back.

Maybe for a ground wire? Reverb or rear defroster?

O.K., It's been a while. I now see that it's a phillip's screw.

Was that not for floor alignment ??

Im guess the interior quarter panel side piece is installed first then the extension?

U slips under the sill plate and shares the rear most screw.

10/4. But does the extension got on before or after the quarter panel finish piece goes on

After. I would also get that windlace installed first

 

[Scott70RR440]

Ok. Next question does the wind lace butt up to the sill plate or run under.

 

[dadsbee]

Under

Rob,
I had these same questions. I simply could not get the things to fit properly. I hate to say it, but I currently left them off and will revisit this winter. The car looks terrific without them in there, but it does drive me crazy they are not in there LOL
Anxiously waiting on your progress!
