Question about louver installation

Featured Replies

Hi guys, I recently purchased a louver, but it seems to not fit to my early 260z. There is like 1 inches gap between the hatch weatherstrip and the aluminum piece from the louver. I try to flip the aluminum piece around, no help, the gap is ever greater. Any suggestion???

I compare to the recently louver topic: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=40475 most of the louver seems to be tight fit, but mine just have a big fat gap........:mad:

Don't think that part is for a 260Z, is it a new part or a swap-meet-swindle....I, I, I mean special?

Agree - not the shade for your 260Z. {nor a 240Z/280Z}.

FWIW,

I agree that it doesn't appear to be the right one for your car. Interesting that the width looks right.

How does it look when you slide it to the top of the glass and leave a gap at the bottom?

The seller said it was removed from 73 240z.......:stupid: The width fit alright, but the length just seem falls short. Is there any different between 240z with early 260z hatch? Thanks.

No, and that was Carl's point.

The seller might have been telling the truth. I may have been "removed" from a 73 240Z, but it is clearly not made for one.

Might be made to fit the 2+2 as it has a shorter hatch and rear glass....

I just measure the louver, it is about 24.75" from top to bottom and the hatch is about 26.5". I guess the seller is lying or something............:mad: Thanks for the reply.
