| Rocker Drain Cover and Restoration |
| Just in front of each rear wheel, on the inside of the inner rocker panel there are two rectangular cutouts in the rocker panel. A rubber valve is secured in the smaller opening and the flap covers the large opening. I assume the purpose is to cover a drain for convertibles. |

| Not finding the part at any of the usual Firebird or GM Repro vendors or rubber trim manufacturers that remanufacture classic parts, I decided to make my own. My car was missing the right side cover. The flap was cut from a sheet of 1/16 rubber from Home Depot. The securing anchor was carved from a piece of scrap rubber. The two were attached with weatherstrip adhesive and painted with Krylon semi-flat black. Flap total size: 1 7/8 x 1 3/8 Securing hole: 5/8 x 15/64 |
