Ensure a secure and factory-correct connection between your convertible or hardtop and windshield frame with these header latch plates for the 1956–1962 Chevrolet Corvette C1. These plates serve as the mounting and contact point for the convertible or hardtop latches, allowing the top to lock firmly into place. Properly functioning latch plates are essential for maintaining alignment, preventing movement, and ensuring a tight seal at the windshield header—especially important for minimizing wind noise and water intrusion.

Typically supplied as a pair and often including mounting screws, they are designed to provide durable, long-lasting performance while maintaining correct latch engagement. Ideal for restoration projects or replacing worn or damaged originals, these plates help restore proper top operation, improve sealing, and preserve the structural integrity of your Corvette’s convertible or hardtop system.
