I am putting my (85) GTV6 back together after paint. I have 4 small (~3/16 diameter) black trim washers left over from somewhere in the rear section of the car. I think they belong on the plastic trim cover in the trunk.

Can someone take a look in their trunk and see if the screws holding the trim piece have washers like on the left hand side of this picture or no washers like the right hand side of the picture.

Thanks!

None on mine FWIW.

It does look a bit cleaner with the washer though...

Yes, that is where they go.

Cheers!

And . . . none on mine. None on friends. :001_unsure:

Huh - a hung jury. Well - I have 4 of them and can't think of any place else they may have come from on the rear half of the vehicle. At least they aren't critical. Guess I'll put them on the trunk trim piece so ate least I know where to find them if i ever need them. ;-)

They have a purpose IMHO: the oval head screws will pull through the plastic trim piece more likely if over tightened.

Cheerio!

Yeah - was thinking the same. Even if they didn't go there originally, it is a good use for them.

I've never seen washers in that location, including on an unmolested sub 20-k mile example...
