Interior Moulding / Trim: Description and Operation
Coupe Roof Lining Fixing Points:
The 6 mm thick, moulded, single piece cloth roof lining is color keyed to the interior trim and supported by sun-visor fixings at the front, a concealed fixing behind the central interior lamp and two body tangs at each side. A header console installed centrally at the front of the roof is common to both models and incorporates two courtesy lamps, switchable map/reading tights and a glass breakage sensor. An additional courtesy lamp is installed centrally in the roof over the rear seats.
Convertible Top
The convertible top has a transverse external seam and a fully padded interior incorporating a full length headlining with backlight surround panel. The heated backlight is bonded in position to achieve a semi-flush finish.
The windscreen header seal has been specifically designed to achieve reductions in noise levels and superior weatherproofing and aerodynamics. A grained UEV head rail finisher is secured in position by the sun visor fixings.
Doors
Door Trim And Water Shedder:
The doors are common to coupe and convertible and have dual seals and vacuum-formed water shedders with separate speaker curtains to provide internal insulation. The door casings are trimmed in UEV with cloth or ambla center pads and integral pockets are attached to the inner panels by plastic studs and retainers and a large dowel. The top rolls are integral with the door casings and trimmed to match the upper fascia.
A leather trimmed armrest attached to each door casing by plastic fixings, is secured to the door by a screw passed through a pull cup into a bracket. An inset maple or burr walnut veneer switch pack is held in position by a single screw and captive nut.
Rear Quarter Casings:
The rear quarter casings are individually styled to suit installation in either the coupe or convertible.
Both styles are trimmed in ambla and incorporate acoustic cloth-covered speakers. Coupe casings are additionally fitted with ambla-trimmed armrests and stowage trays.
Convertible rear quarter casings are secured at the rear by dowels locating in the seat squab panel, and at the front by spring steel clips locating in the 'B' posts. Coupe rear quarter casings are retained by spring steel clips located in the cantrails and 'B' posts and a screw passed through each front seat belt escutcheon. A plastic clip in each coupe rear quarter engages in the parcel shelf.
The trunk has a two-height load floor structure in order to accommodate either the full size or space-saver spare wheel. When the space saver wheel is carried, a removable center floor section is recessed in the spare wheel well. For the full size spare wheel, the floor is a one piece full-width removable section. The trunk lid, front and side casings and floor are lined with moulded single color carpet.
The trunk lid is produced in two styles to suit convertible and coupe. For some markets, a warning triangle is located in the trunk lid lining.
