C-covers on rear sunblind assembly

Hi,

As a follow up to post #21 in this thread:
http://www.500eboard.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8230

Here is some pics of those "C-covers" closing the ends on the rear electric sunblind assembly. Based on r44raven's research they are apparently NLA now. I haven't checked the EPC, so the PN may vary on colors - or they have an additional color code affix.

The covers are held in place by one round tab/pin just pressed in place. They sit quite good, and it is important to not bend when taking them off, which may break that tab/pin. If that pin breaks it is no easy fix and it is the only grip holding them in place! Just pry & pull gently straight outwards and you're good.

PS. These C-covers are pre-sold to member r44raven, at an estreme mark-up of course - I'll gonna be stone rich now!!:wow:

Here is the C-covers I provided to member r44raven mentioned in post #20-22 in this thread; http://www.500eboard.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8230

This is the blue covers shown in the previous post here. I rubbed them carefully with an abrasive cloth in attempt to maintain the tiny texture, followed by chemical cleaning. Next they were sprayed with satin black vinyl paint, two layers. After drying properly I thought they were a bit glossy compared to the stock interior parts, so I brushed them very carefully with a fine abrasive cloth to achieve a finish as close as possible to original.

I hope they blend in pretty well with the interior in Stephens car. :star:
