Anybody know of a template for the holes for the Charger emblem for a new quarterpanel ?    AMD doesn't pre-drill.   

I got hunks of the old quarters left that I can maybe match up but just wondering if there was something official to use...    :shruggy:

Brian,

Isnt there some kind of strenghtening channel or frame work behind the sail panel card board?  I seem to remember something like that when I had my headliner off and you could see the recessed areas where the holes would allow the nuts to go.

There's inner roof structure, etc.   And I guess you could utilize that to drill thru from the inside  :scratchchin: .     I'm just curious how the factory did it...  or anybody else for that matter.

Brian,

Thats actually how I did mine as when I got my charger, they put the vinyl top on and never reinstalled the name plates on the C post.  I ended up finding the filled in holes and just punched them out from the inside going out.  Should have probably drilled instead of using an awl as I popped some of the filler out under the vinyl top so now I have a little bump in one area by the name plate.
