Adambravo Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 So, after discovering a damp trunk a few weeks ago, I think I've solved the leak issue but I do need a new trunk liner. I've searched the boards here but don't see any posts newer than late 2021 (including a reference to a place called Clark's, which I can't find), so I'm reaching out for the latest suggestions and recommendations. I've seen offerings at ProFit (https://www.bopparts.com/1963-buick-riviera-trunk-mat-tweed-gray-5-pieces.html) and BOP Parts (https://www.bopparts.com/1963-buick-riviera-trunk-mat-tweed-gray-5-pieces.html); any feedback or additional places to look? I've attached a photo of what I currently have back there... Thanks in advance, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbinator Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 If you want the liner covered go to Jenkins Upholstery (Jenkins-interiors.com) in North Carolina that way you can wipe off scuff marks. Hill Jenkins will sell you the stock appearing material that lines the shelf where the spare goes and the floor. If you go with the cardboard liner I have it is new, but on the shelf for a long time. No scratches, etc. I'll mail or ship to you method you choose. If interested PM me for the price. Turbinate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RivNut Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Jenkins is the best available but it still lacks the red thread that is in the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XframeFX Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Not going to show my 1963 Trunk Liner. Typical of Riviera challenges, the 1st attempt is not the final product. I botched covering the wheel wells and the cutout at the bottom. A trick method? I purchased this for my when I re-do it the 2nd time. Will help for the cutout. How to do the wheel wells?: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The patterns just don’t come to me. Turbinator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockable Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 I just got finished cleaning my original mat up and installing new carboard. The color of the cardboard is not exactly like the original but matches better. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Curran Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Looks great. The tan cardboard is a nice match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telriv Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 The rear cover is Grey like the hinge cover color. Tom T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockable Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 I know it isn't the correct color but no one that I found has that exact color. Mine was more of a taupe or grey tan color. So, given my limited choices, I thought this looked best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telriv Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 I know it's done now, BUT you have the choice to paint it IF you want it to be "more" correct??? Tom T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are any of kit walls lined with vinyl? Reason I ask is I did have vinyl put on the walls. I don’t have the gray in my car that is the factory gray. The vinyl lets me clean up after I’ve banged around back there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockable Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 This kit does not have vinyl on it. It is just die cut cardboard similar to original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 On page 14 of Clark’s Riviera catalog, it states that trunk cardboard is available in 18 colors. If Calvin covers the package trays he sells in your choice of vinyl color, I’m betting he would cover the cardboard pieces as well. You’d just have to contact him to find out. Vinyl covered cardboard and matching carpet would make for a striking trunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I’m doing mine now after seeing Bills riviera63 in Kalamazoo. Here are some pics of his that he sent me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
