    As far as I know, nobody makes the rear panels for convertibles.

    These are Palco panels. As far as I know they are the only ones that reproduce the rear conv panels, Some members here say they don't fit well, maybe they will chime in.

    Yes.  The Palco/DashTop brand is the ONLY option for new rear convertible panels.  The previous owner put a complete set of new Palco/DashTop panels throughout my 70 Challenger convertible.  They are junk (IMO).  I took them out about a year ago, and since then I have purchased Metro's door and seat back panels in white; purchased excellent condition original black kick panels; and several years ago, bought a pair of unmolested but moderately deteriorated white rear panels.  I have begun a process of restoring those rear panels, but still have quite a way to go.  Good condition original convertible rear panels are EXTREMELY difficult to find.  I know, because I have been searching for several years now with ZERO success.  I can't express enough how frustrated and disappointed I am that Metro never did (and never will) make rear panels for us needy convertible owners.

      :iagree:  I'm still holding out hope that that "(and never will)" isn't written in stone.

    We are also in the boat with needing the correct fitting rear panels as I am assuming our rears and fronts are Palcos as they do not fit well at all.  To make it more difficult, our challengers interior is red.  I really hope they come out with the rears as there is a definite need for them but I also know it takes a lot of money to get something produced.

    I am working on this problem and will have something written up in the near future about getting these reproduced. I will need the support of everyone who has a convertible and are after these parts, because i need these myself and a lot of other people need these also, so in your helping me when i make my post, you will be helping all of yourselves and your fellow convertible owners also - to help make these rear panels come to life and become available for us all. Look out for my posting on the subject coming soon. :2thumbs:

    Same here Kenny. I wonder if there's a way to get this message out to everyone in Ola's database.
