1963-1975 C2-C3 Hood and Deck Lid Release Cable Grommet Rubber 3839173 - OEM Number(s) (3839173)
This reproduction rubber grommet serves double duty on your Corvette, sealing both the hood release cable at the firewall and the rear deck lid release cables for a clean, protected pass-through.
This reproduction Corvette cable grommet does two jobs on your 1963–1975 C2 or C3. It seals the hood release cable where it passes through the firewall, and it also serves as the grommet for the rear deck lid release cables. In both spots, a clean cable pass-through keeps water, heat, and debris out of the cabin and rear storage area while keeping the cable aligned and protected from chafing.
It is a direct replacement that delivers the correct fit and function, so a worn, hardened, or missing grommet gets restored to a proper, finished seal.

Because Details Matter: The small grommets are easy to overlook, but a missing one lets water, heat, and grit follow the cable right into the cabin or trunk. A correct grommet seals that pass-through and keeps the cable from chafing, the kind of small detail that protects the bigger systems around it.
