Installation tips and considerations

• Verify compatibility with your specific trunk latch assembly before installation to ensure a seamless fitment.
• After fitting, test the latch by closing the rear compartment and confirming a secure, positive snap. If the latch misses or binds, slight realignment of the striker may be needed by loosening mounting screws and reseating.
• Inspect surrounding hardware and weather-stripping for wear; replacing the striker is most effective when the mounting points and seals are in good condition.

Vehicle Fitment

• Precise, OEM-style geometry for 1968–1979 C3 Corvettes to ensure reliable latch engagement every time.
• Replaces worn or bent striker posts, improving alignment and reducing trunk rattle during highway driving.

• Durable construction built to withstand classic-car environments and decades of openings and closings.
• Direct-fit installation with common hand tools; designed to match original mounting points for a straightforward restoration path.
