Did anyone happen to notice the article in the latest Mopar Collector's Guide issue that says these never came from the factory originally?  They said there should be just a sloppyish cut hole in the carpet for the switch and they had a few survivor pics to go with the article.  Personally, I have one on my car and I like it.

The article is correct though, the grommet isn't a Mopar thing.

:iagree:   Certainly not an A, E or B-Body thing from 69-71 anyway.
