1979-1982 C3 Corvette Rear Compartment Door Trim Frame Left Hand

Restore and protect your C3 Corvette’s storage area with a durable, paint-to-match compartment door trim frame.

On late 1979–1982 C3 Corvettes, the left-hand rear compartment door opening houses the battery compartment and sees heavy use every time you service or store gear. Cracked, faded, or missing trim frames make the area look unfinished and can let carpet edges fray. This new Left-Hand Rear Compartment Door Trim Frame is molded to original GM dimensions, with the correct grain and mounting points, so you can bring back the crisp fit and clean edges your Corvette had when new.

The frame is produced in black or red ABS to give you the best base for repainting. Black is ideal for darker interior colors like Charcoal, Dark Blue, or Black itself. Red provides better coverage for lighter tones such as Saddle/Tan, Silver/Gray, and other medium colors. Just prep and apply interior color coat for a seamless match.

Because Details Matter

Your Corvette’s left-hand storage area is more than a battery bay — it’s part of the car’s interior design. Restoring the compartment door trim ensures your battery compartment closes securely, fits flush, and looks as it did in 1979. Precision-molded edges and correct grain bring back the tactile feel of a brand-new C3 interior — because details matter.

Note: Late 1979 for the 2 Door Rear Compartment started at approximate VIN number 53,500. With only 53,807 cars produced, late1979 use is very limited.
