Its on the 97 that my friend gave me evidently the rear hasn't been opened in years. took me all afternoon to get the rear open without destroying anything..rust got the better of it. The one on my junk 94 is junk so I thought I'd put the word out..

Congrats on finding a new one. BTW what condition are the bolts that hold it in?

I sprayed Kroil in there like half a soda cans worth.. So when I finally got the door open by hitting from the inside with a block of wood and a mini sledge I was able to get the bolts out easy..I was back there behind the last row of seats for like 5 hours.
I didn't want to ruin anything..

I can't find the link, but there is a website that sells aftermarket body parts for the Aero, I would try doing a search here, it has been posted several times.

Or there is always JC Whitney.
