C3 1968-1976 Corvette Nut Plate For Door Ajar Switches

Designed specifically for the 1968–1976 Chevrolet Corvette, this precision component ensures the door ajar switch sits exactly where it should, delivering reliable interior lighting and accurate doo-open indicators every time you pull the handle.

Why this nut plate matters

In classic Corvettes, the door ajar switch relies on a precise mounting to function correctly. A worn or misaligned plate can lead to flickering interior lights, false doo-ajar warnings, or inconsistent switch engagement. This nut plate restores the original alignment and provides a solid, vibratio-resistant foundation that stands up to the door’s frequent opening and closing.
