The vert has a similar deck as the FRC like the OP listed.

I saw they had them for the rear deck lid for a vert but I couldn;t find them for the convertible cover piece - the poart that pops up to the rear and the top goes under it - tonnaueu (sp)cover

P.S. Didn't see the link....never saw a Vette part that cheap....thought he got the spring.

He got the struts. They are for a trunk. They are not the bigger ones for a hatch. I got a pair for my neighbor who has a vert.

Installed in seconds, and now with a simple press of the button, my deck pops up the perfect amount! Awesome!
