1982 C3 Collector Edition Rear Hatch Weatherstrip Seal 14038230 - OEM Number(s) (14038230)
Keep your cargo area clean and dry on your 1982 Corvette Collector Edition with this accurate reproduction rear hatch weatherstrip seal, the correct one-piece replacement for the unique pop-up rear hatch found only on the Collector Edition.
The 1982 Collector Edition Corvette was the only C3 model that allowed access to the cargo area through a pop-up rear hatch, making this weatherstrip seal a one-year-only Corvette component. After more than four decades, the original seal is often hardened, cracked, or shrunken, leading to water leaks into the cargo area and the unmistakable signs of a tired rear hatch.
This accurate reproduction one-piece seal restores the correct weather-tight fit between the pop-up hatch and the body opening. Made in the USA for proper fit and long service life.

Because Details Matter: The 1982 Collector Edition is one of the most distinctive cars in C3 history, and the pop-up rear hatch is the single most defining feature that sets it apart from every other C3. The seal that surrounds that hatch is just as one-year-only as the hatch itself — and when it fails, water finds its way in. This accurate USA-made reproduction restores the correct weather-tight fit and protects the cargo area exactly the way the Collector Edition was built to.
