Default [C5Z] Cargo cover latches for JL Stealth box

In the description of the JLAudio Stealth box, the last sentence of the pararagraph says, "To install in Z06, you must purchase two cargo cover latches from GM parts.". Believe it or not, calling up the local Chevrolet dealer hasn't helped in locating these. Anybody know the part number so i can order them up? thanks.

The latches just assures that the box will stay in place in case of a accident. When I had a JL box in my Z, I never did buy the latches or bolt the box in from the bottom like it says. It fits really tight, but you will need to cut the carpet in the center compartment for the jl box to fit. As for the JL compartment cover. I just simply laid it over the box. It never went anywhere as in sliding around. You can get the latches if you want, but it's not necessary. I guess to be safe in a accident it would be wise to do so, but I knew I wouldn't keep the box for long so I didn't want to drill anymore holes in the car.

If you ever get into a front-end collision, the Steathbox will be the last thing going through your mind as it passes through the windshield.
