Package Tray Install & Rear Glass Install

[dryheat]

I ordered a nice new package tray from Classic Industries. The pre-punched holes for the two attachment clips are in the wrong spot which isn't a big deal.

My big question is do I need to install the tray before or after I install the rear glass?

I have a 67 B body, and the package tray was installed after the glass was installed. I don't think that a package tray is a critical component to have a perfect fit, and yes the speaker perforations line up just fine.

Gus, 66 & 67 a bit different than '65 and back. I dont think he was talking about the speaker holes. Still should go in and out with the glass installed, IDB.

No, i just threw that in about the speaker holes. I just mentioned that because whomever made the PT did a good job. I didn't see where he mentioned the year of car.

No. The package tray does not interfere with the back glass on a 65 anyway. Think I had to remove the seat back and some trim to install the tray. I would say back glass then package tray.

Package tray can go in after the glass. Especially if you’re going to use a gasket sealant for the window - it can get messy and you don’t want to get that stuff on the package tray.

On a 69 roadrunner the package tray goes in after installing the rear glass. It makes it easier with the bottom inner plastic trim installation.

I'm assuming its the same or similar on a 70. Do you know if the package tray holds the bottom trim piece in place? i see a grove under the ribbing. does the trim go up, and then the tray slides into the notch to hold it in place?

What year do you have?

(More than likely all the above answers are correct.)

My '63 sedan went in after the glass...

I put the trim on my package try and installed them both at the same time...70 Satellite...

As for the 65 the back glass is first and then the package tray...

I had to put the trim piece on the package tray then install. It was a difficult fit and it helped a lot when I warmed up the plastic trim piece with a heat gun as I installed.

70 RR are these clips visible normally?

 

[skicker]

I never put mine in as they weren't needed on mine...

I used aluminum sign board and covered it with material...

I think using a factory style they would keep it from warping up...

When replacing the package tray I saw my 62 was fortunate to have (3) 6x9 oval holes stamped into the rear deck when I ripped out the old cracked pkg. tray and was ready to replace it. I assume the center hole was for a rear defroster blower and don't know "why" there were "left & right" holes since I don't think the Polara 500 came with a rear speaker which would only be "one"? But, this set up from the factory allowed me to put in a fantastic audio system. I measured and fitted in a Custom Autosound "USA-230" AM/FM/AUX tuner 50 watts x 4 receiver and installed a Retro Sound Stereo Phonic amp 65 watts RMS x 2 channels and 170 watts RMS for a subwoofer. I never knew "somebody" made a 6 x 9 subwoofer and Rockville audio is the ONLY one who does. I chose Rockford Fosgate HP 6x9 speakers and the Rockville sub that fit in the center of the two 6x9's. I had to do some very minor grinding to fit the sub and speakers into the holes but man, what an unfricken believeable sound! My seat actually vibrates from the thumping. So I have 115 watts per channel and 170 to the sub. The only problem with the head unit was it recommended to use RCA jacks from the head unit to the speakers of which you would "lose" the 50 watts from the head unit to the speakers and would have to make it up with a more powerful amp but I used the provided speaker leads and not the RCA jacks from the head unit and got conversion RCA connector jacks to wire it up and keep the wattage from the head unit.

I figured to post this just in case anyone wanted to enhance their car audio before installing a new package tray.

I know 65's do not have "3" holes in the deck but not sure of the 63 or 64's. Also, it was not hard to cut out the holes in the package tray with a jig saw. Just use the speaker as a template. ROCK N ROLL WILL NEVER DIE! (AC/DC)
