Why this upper header matters

• Improved seal integrity: paired with the correct gasket and surrounding frame, it provides a solid surface for a reliable, lea-free seal.
• Direc-fit replacement: designed to slot into your existing windshield frame without major modifications, making restoration projects smoother and more predictable.
• Ideal for restoration and mi-project refreshes: perfect when the original header has rust, dents, or wear that compromises fitment and aesthetics.

Compatibility and installation

Compatible with 1968–1982 Chevrolet Corvette C3 windshield frame assemblies. This upper header is the key to-sealing member that completes the frame’s weatherproof boundary and supports the windshield glass.

Practical installation tips

• Prepare your workspace and remove the old header with standard hand tools, keeping the mounting hardware if reusable.
• Align the new header with existing mounting holes and body lines, then secure it firmly without ove-tightening to avoid distortion.
• Reinstall the windshield gasket, glass, and any adjacent trim, then perform a leak test by spraying water along the seam to ensure a clean seal.
