Default 82CE rear hatch ?

Does anybody know where I can get those two latch thingy pieces.The ones that attach to the rear window right where the strut attaches to the window.They are the pieces that keep the hatch latched.Also what are some good catalogs and company's that you all get your parts.I've got one from mid america.How do they compare with the others? Thanks.

Unless you can find the hatch parts in a junk yard somewhere, your completely out of luck. There are no after market, or NOS parts available any more...

If you get really desperate, someone told me where there was a glass with some hardware on it. But the guy knows what it's worth, so I'm guessing big $$$.

I've managed to find replacement shocks at Pep Boys, but I've got no clue where to get the latch. Luckily mine's still in decent shape.

You might try Contemporary Corvette. They list the rear glass, so it's possible they may have the other parts.

Don't worry about the strikers so much, it's the hinge's that are the big problem. just wait until you start using it, and the hinges stretch.
