Was there ever a cover here??

Greetings all, my question is, was there ever a cover over the opening on the drivers side behind the headlights (opposite side hole is the intake cover leading to the air filter box)?? If so, what is it referred to, so I can try and find one. -Thanks!

Yep, my '89 has one. I don't know what it's called because I can't seem to find it upon a cursory browse of RealOEM.

I believe that item #10 is what you're looking for. Even though it says up to 6/1987 it's the same through the end of the model run.

Holy Shit Man!!! You have got to replace that cover. Battery could overheat and explode!!! Blow the whole freakin headlamp assembly right out of the car!!! Jesus Craminy...

That's pretty much what I was afraid of.. What can I say, it's a big freaking hole staring at me!
