2020-2024 Coupe Rear Hatch Window Side Water & Debris Diverters
We know how much C8 Corvette Coupe owners love to look at their engines. When Chevy’s designers were working with the engineers on the presentation of the Coupe’s V8, they described it as “a jewel under glass.” But nobody likes dirty jewelry, and that’s what happens when you wash your C8 Corvette Coupe or drive several hours in the rain. All that water gets into the coupe’s engine hatch through the cooling vents, leaving dirt, road grime, and water spots behind.
Corvette Central’s 2020-2024 Coupe Rear Hatch Window Side Water & Debris Diverters are specially designed to catch water that enters the engine bay from the hatch vents and diverts it away from the engine to the water drain holes. These diverters are offset from the vents to allow proper cooling and venting of heat from within the engine compartment, and in fact testing indicates a slight improvement in cooling the engine bay due to the unidirectional laminar flow of hot away from the car.
These C8 Coupe Rear Hatch Window Side Water & Debris Diverters were tested by Scott Kohn of Corvette Central who had a set installed on his C8 Coupe before heading out on a road tour where he unfortunately encountered rain for a couple of hours. After stopping at the hotel for the evening, he opened the rear hatch found the engine to be dry and clean like it never rained!
These 2020-2024 Coupe Rear Hatch Window Side Water & Debris Diverters are manufactured by Speedway Composites and are offered for $249.95 per pair.
For additional protection against rain and water in your C8 Corvette Coupe’s engine bay, combine the side vent water diverters with these C8 Coupe Rear Glass Water Diverters that catch the water running down the rear hatch glass and diverts it away to the drain holes. These are available in two colors, Black or Red, and they are priced at $99.95 each.
1984-85 Hatch Glass Release Switch
These C4 Corvette Hatch Glass Release switches are designed to release the rear hatch windows with the touch of a button. If the Open Rear Hatch switches in your 1984-1985 Corvette are no longer functioning properly, replace them with these NOS (new old stock) switches that are now available in limited numbers. Two switches are required per car and these can also work as a replacement for the Hatch Glass Release Switches on 1986-1993 Corvettes.
Corvette Central’s electrical components are non-returnable, so make sure you are referring to your factory service manuals when diagnosing electrical service problems. The 1984-85 Hatch Glass Release Switches are sold for $59.95 each.
1967-1982 Emergency Parking Brakes
From 1967 through 1982, the Corvette’s Parking Brake was much more visible in the cockpit as it was located on the center console between the seats. There is always a certain amount of satisfaction when pulling up on the handle to engage the brake, or pressing the button on the end to release it.
If your 1967-1982 parking brake handle, handle assemblies, or the console cover for the emergency brakes are no longer looking good or if they are not performing as they should, Corvette Central carries all the components necessary to make them look great again.
