I really need the latch mounted on the trunk hood and need the air conditioning knob assembly for the dash. Anyone can help? Tks Sent from my SM-N950W using Tapatalk
wsaarblb.. any chance you could let us know the table and part number from the parts manual(s), for the parts you are looking for? Might make it a bit easier for us to try and help... Mike
Good day, Can someone help me please? I'm looking for a doorstop for my Mexico. (Table 8 Doors, No. 53, No. 54 + No. 58) On which vehicle were the same installed? Or where do you get that? Thank you very much for your help. Ggreetings from Switzerland Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Hello everybody, finally it is done: After a year waiting for a slot at my favourite and very good trimmer (he did the car interior too) the final piece of restoration has been done: The trunk ist trimmed. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login But some final mystery remains: I am still absolutely puzzled about how to adjust the trunk springs so it stays open on its own. We removed them twice, and i know that its a problem on other cars too: What is the secret to them? I removed them out of their original position, made a lot of pictures (the trunk worked fine at that stage). And after refitting they just refuse to hold the trunk lid in place..... Any help is appreciated big time like always if you have any hints! CU lbird
Upon ageing, the springs and/or the oil dampeners may have weakened and, if the load threshold has been overcome, are not anymore up to the task. I have noticed that on one of my classic cars: it does not hold at the first opening but it does after a few trials. Maybe further on it will not hold at all...
And to sum up the trunk problem (lid doesn't want to stay open): When we got our hands on another Mexico we saw that there are some strange bolts with a nut and two big washers between the trunk spring and the lid holder. By adjusting these washers and the distances of the bolt sticking out one can adjust the tension of the spring. These bolts were somehow lost during my restoration although they were there when we dismantled the car. Oh dear, remanufactoring time again. But no big deal, me think.....

Hi, Did you find a seat knob? I have a spare one from my Ghibli, not sure if its exactly the same but have a look. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Thank you for the kind offer, but a seat knob was provided by a good friend of mine. And the Ghibli one looks a bit different, too.
Dear lbird, do you have contacts in Germany who own scrapped cars. I also lost two small items during the process of restoration of the Mexico ! The glove box hinges and a small chrome trim part... To buy or on loan for copying... Regards Charles Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Hi Charles, please tell me exactly what parts you need. Normally i have some contacts i can try to check for these parts, some i still have myself. Is your car a series 1 or 2? CU lbird
It's a series 1. I look for the glove box hinges to fit it on the dashboard. Simple to re produce but I don't have the shape... and I look this junction chrome part. Also easy to re produce but if someone have it on a crashed car it will be nice.... (only on later series 1 if I remember well). This upper chrome trim was in one part on the early cars (two parts on the later). Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
