Right Kick Panel Trim - 1987 Mustang

The 1987 Ford Mustang right kick panel trim fits the Fox-body chassis during the 1987-1989 interior generation only. OEM reference E7ZZ-63044A72-A denotes the passenger-side ABS plastic panel that snaps into the lower cowl, distinct from the 1990-1993 F0ZZ-series panels that accommodate the revised dashboard structure with driver airbag provisions. When harvesting from junkyards, target 1987-1989 LX or GT models exclusively, verifying the textured finish matches your interior grade—GT models often received a slightly darker grain than base LX units. Inspect the three lower clip receivers for cracks, as these brittle tabs shear off during removal after decades of heat cycling. Installation requires threading the panel under the carpet flange before pressing the Christmas-tree fasteners into the metal cowl lip; never force the panel flat without seating the upper hook first. Note that 1987 models transitioned to a centralized diagnostic connector location behind this panel, requiring the trim to feature the correct relief cutout to prevent interference.
