Eddie- Me thinks you mean the foam BEHIND the shelf. I'm talking about 1/4" thick carpet padding on the BOTTOM surface...visible from the seated position if you tilt your head down just a bit. See the photo link I supplied. John -----Original Message----- From: eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx John, I am not sure when/what year AMC started doing this but believe it had to do with rattles. I have one in my 71 SC/360 that came out of a 72 Hornet, and the 74 Sportabout DL/GX wagon also has one, both have a soft pad, this type commonly found around some of the eariler 68-70 AMX AC units, disentrigrates on touch. Others, like my 82 Eagle, has a actual pad made of different material under there. But I believe the thin pad was to keep the package tray from rattling.
