Unlimited Products bolt-on trunk

[pml]

Has anyone used the Unlimited Products bolt-on fiberglass trunk (PN ML-703H) for 1978-1987 Malibu? This is the one that bolts to the factory hinges. I'd like to hear about anyone's experience with this trunk.

I've only heard bad things about Unlimited on everything they make.

Thank you for your help, I appreciate that.

I called them yesterday about the Malibu bolt-on trunk lid. Their operation seems to be a mess. Each question I asked, the person had to put me on hold, ask someone else, then come back with the answer. The lady on the phone sounded aggravated.

The lady I spoke with at Unlimited said the tension rods must be removed. I don't like that. She also said the trunk is unfinished on the bottom side. Not liking that either.

On the positive side, she said the trunk is supposed to be water-tight.

It would be nice if there were a high quality fiberglass bolt-on trunk lid or aftermarket sheet metal trunk lid for 1978-1987 Malibu. So far I have not found either.

Roger that.

For the past couple of weeks I have been straightening out a trunk skin for the Malibu so hopefully I can reuse it. There is rust in the fold of the trunk skin and on the frame that supports the trunk skin. I separated the trunk skin from its frame so the rust can be repaired. As far as I know, there is no replacement trunk skin or trunk lid available for a 1978 Malibu. Not even a decent fiberglass trunk. If anyone has knowledge of a replacement trunk skin, the entire trunk lid, or a quality fiberglass trunk lid, I would appreciate it if you could share that.
