Default Finally a quick fix for interior panels

I like every Fbody owner has the same problem of the rear panels popping loose from the velcro holding them. So heres what I did. It sure beats kicking them back into place everytime you clean your car.

1.pull the side panels out a bit to clean up wires or styrofoam that has moved.( you can remove speaker grills also)
2.mark on the outside where the velcro is on the opposite side
3.using a 72" adjustable shower curtain rod place the ends on the marks on each side.
4.tighten until the velcro it making contact and the panels are flush against the sides.
5.I went a step further and added a dab of gorilla glue on the velcro.
6.Leave on overnight.

I did this about a week ago and they havent moved a bit or come loose.
