Stick-On panels for Intrepid? (Inside trunk)

Discussion in 'General Motoring' started by David E. Powell, Dec 3, 2006.

  1. Hi all... I have gotten under the carpet of my (First Generation)
    Intrepid to take a look at the fuel system. Inside on the right side of
    the trunk, under the carpet, are two access panels. They are made of
    some kind of stuck-on plastic which was painted along with the inside
    of the trunk. With age they have become brittle in places and gooey in
    others, so I was wondering what to stick on in place of them if I peel
    them off and they are destroyed? I was wondering if parts shops carry
    rolls of this material?

  2. OK... never mind. They don't seem to be something I have to mess with.
    The real panel is back by the passenger seat in the trunk and secured
    by four nuts.... removing it exposes the top of the fuel tank and all
    the hoses running into it. (Exercise caution.)

    Since it's out of sight I'd just fasten on with duct tape a bit of
    plastic cut from anything I find around the house.

  4. Thank you... I ws able to put the one I peeled off back on, but had
    been thinking "Old bumper sticker" as a take on your idea. Duct tape
    and plastic could work too. Fortunately, there was no hole under the
    panel, just a plastic panel. Ironically, the real access port is back
    by the passenger seat at the far part of the trunk (from the opening to
    the trunk) under the carpet, and is secured by four metal nuts. It's
    pretty fascinating, actually...
