Trunk lid tension rods.
 

Have a pair of these rods that I took off a wrecked 69 SS Camaro years ago. Don't know if the car had a factory rear spoiler or not - the trunk lid was gone when I got to it.

Anyone know the difference between factory installed spoiler rods and those without?

Thanks for any help Gents.

The tension rods in a factory spoiler equipped car are 2 separate diameters, one thicker than the other... they will both be the same thickness on a non spoiler equipped car.

There is information in the Fisher Body Manaul. I do not have mine with me right now. It includes fabing a tool to make it easier/safer to remove the rods.

Here is the tool for the 70 Nova.

Frank Arone had a tool made to do this, I borrowed it and it worked like a charm. Otherwise, wear a helmet unless you have a helper to catch one of those flying rods https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif
