1978-1982 C3 T-Top Panel Latch Bolts with Rubber Tip 359611 - OEM Number(s) (359611)

Lock It Down—Stop the Rattle and Seal the Deal on Your C3’s T-Tops

If your 1978–1982 Corvette T-Tops rattle, wiggle, or just don’t sit like they used to, the problem may come down to something deceptively small: the T-Top Panel Latch Bolts with Rubber Tip. These factory-style replacements bring back the snug, quiet, and secure fit your C3 was designed to have—without the annoying clatter or wind noise.

Engineered exclusively for the 1978–1982 Corvette, these latch bolts are a direct replacement for the original GM part number 359611, and they include a pre-installed rubber tip that cushions the latch mechanism, reduces wear, and helps ensure a proper seal between your roof panel and body frame.

Why It Matters:

Over time, factory latch bolts can wear down or lose their rubber tips entirely, which leads to loose-fitting panels, creaks, leaks, and a less-than-confident hold at highway speeds. These upgraded replacements restore the precise factory feel and eliminate play, preserving your T-Top fitment and interior comfort.

Built for Function—Made to Last

Manufactured to OE specifications, these latch bolts are crafted from durable metal and finished with corrosion-resistant coating for long-term reliability. The integrated rubber tip provides a soft landing for your T-Top panels every time you lock them in, helping preserve surrounding trim and hardware.
