64 Belvedere bench seat hinge covers different for L & R? - 03/28/17 06:37 AM

I just received a set of repop bench seat hinge covers for my 64 Belvedere (hard top) & they're way too long. I've attached a photo of one vendor's set where one cover is shorter than the other & the set I got has 2 of the longer version. Can someone help me out with info & pics for each side?

The original set off my 65 Belvedere (should be the same as 64)both look like the one on the left in your picture. They are same size, mirror images of each other

I found this photo of a real 64 steel nose Hemi car & it has the shorter version.

That's interesting, they are always sold as for 64-67, never really looked to see what would be different between years. Looks like the front section of the cover is shorter with the top ending in the same place

I've sold a pair of the mis-matched long/short hinge covers, they were off of a '64 Polara with a folding armrest bench seat & what the customer was looking for. shruggy

Thanks for the info & pics. When I get my car back, I'll check the driver's side hinge to see if it takes a longer cover than the passenger side. Maybe that's the issue.
