1956-1962 C1 Rear Deck Lid Latch Gasket - OEM Number(s) (100857)

Protect your Corvette’s finish with precision-fit rear latch gaskets.

Your Corvette’s convertible top latches rest directly against the rear deck lid—a vulnerable spot for scratches, dents, and paint damage. This die-cut rubber gasket acts as a protective cushion, sealing out moisture while preventing costly finish wear. Designed to OE standards, it ensures both functional protection and period-correct authenticity, making it a must-have for restorers and drivers alike.

Because Details Matter
Every time you latch your Corvette’s top, pressure is applied to the rear deck lid. Without proper gaskets, that contact leaves lasting scars on original paint or carefully restored finishes. By installing the correct rubber gasket, you preserve both form and function—protecting authenticity and ensuring your Corvette stays as beautiful as the day it left the factory, because details matter.
