Not sure... but I would like to know how that hole in the headliner in the back seat area got there. </div></div>

Mouse hole. Let that be a lesson: when you park a car for the winter, always flip the sun visors down. Otherwise, the mice crawl up and use the visor as a park bench while they chew a hole in the headliner above the windshield. They then make their happy little winter vacationland in the headliner and insulation. That hole in the C pillar portion of the headliner is the exit point. Both my Charger and my T/A had the exact same hole in the C pillar when I got them.

I betcha there is a hole in the headliner above one of the visors. </div></div>

Yep you're right its there pass side visor

I hate it when I'm right. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]

Those fricken rodents piss me off. Makes me wanna relocate one of our cats into the garage over the winter....but then the cat would scratch the interior, so I'd have to bring in one of the dogs to chase the cat.....but the dog would pee on the tires..... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

Taking a closer look at the headliner you can see all the mouse poo and pee stains all over the place [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/youguysrock.gif[/img]

Ugh, that mouse pee smell. I just spent several weeks renovating the inside of my car trailer after what started out as a broken running light wire turned out to be the mother of all mouse nests taking up the entire front of the trailer bulkhead. It's been a month and I still can't get that smell out of my nose! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img]

It is a beautiful car but I'd imagine that Chevelle has a similar aeromatic bouquet when you roll up the windows on a hot day. Only way to solve it is to replace the headliner and bleach the underside of the roof.

Steve's right - I had the same annoying hole in my '70 SS396 and there was the jingle jangle of acorns up in the headliner as well. The C pillar hole is definitely the &quot;exit wound&quot;....sad

Another note:
There are some November built SS 396 out of Baltimore that are documented with the 69 style SS 396 door panel emblems as well as YA wheels so i think those door panels are legit.
The YA rims are on the build sheet.

I'll take the air cleaner if he does not want it, because it is not correct!!!
