C2 1963-1967 Corvette Convertible Top Rear Latch Retainer

Restore secure, confident operation of your C2 Corvette’s soft top with the Convertible Top Rear Latch Retainer for 1963–1967 models. This precisely reproduced part is engineered for mid-year Corvette convertibles, ensuring the rear latch mechanism stays correctly mounted to the deck lid for reliable engagement every time you close the top.

The rear latch retainer is a small component with a big impact: it keeps the latch aligned, anchors the rear bow of the soft top, and preserves proper top tension and seal integrity. When the retainer fits perfectly, the top seats cleanly, the seal stays pressed, and wind-driven leaks are minimized.

• OEM-spec reproduction designed to match factory geometry and mounting points for 1963–1967 Corvette convertibles.
• Direct-fit replacement that aligns with the factory latch and deck lid hardware—no guesswork, no modifications.
• Durable construction built to endure repeated latch cycles, vibration, and outdoor exposure (steel or equivalent durable material).
• Two retainers typically required per vehicle for complete restoration and authentic latch operation.

Fits the following C2 Corvette Convertibles: 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, and 1967. Specifically designed for the Corvette’s rear deck lid area where the rear soft top latch mounts. Compatible with factory latch components and mounting locations to preserve authentic operation and alignment.

Ideal for Corvette enthusiasts performing a concours-level restoration, top-up daily drivers, or any project where authentic closure and weather sealing matters. Replacing worn or missing hardware with an authentic-style retainer helps prevent misalignment, reduces top movement, and ensures the rear bow locks securely—so you can drive with confidence in all conditions.

Quantity: Sold individually; two retainers are typically required per vehicle, depending on the configuration. This allows you to source exactly what you need for a complete reassembly or restoration project.

Installation notes: Clean mounting surfaces, verify alignment before securing, and ensure you’re pairing with the correct latch components for the best long-term results. If you’re already reworking the deck lid area, consider inspecting adjacent hardware to maintain overall top fit and seal integrity.
