Looking for the Rear Hatch Latch

[Erik]

The glass side of my rear hatch latch came apart on the weekend. Anyone have another in good shape? Of course, I need the whole assembly that screws into the glass.

Not ZR-1 specific should be an easy find :cheers:

Mark at Mirrock will probably have one. He is a member and a good guy.

What kind of metal do you think that is? A welder could probably put it back together in a few seconds.

I hear you. I have a lot of parts tucked away for both my Z's however that is not a part even I have on hand and that was the only one I could find on EBay for you.

It not a common part to have on hand. However it's a part common to all C-4s

It?s an oddball for sure. I don?t think I?ve ever had one break in all the cars ive had. And , of course, the link you shared won?t ship to Canada. Of course! :)

And Mirrock is shut down for 3 weeks.

I wonder if anyone at Carlisle would have one?

Likely weldable. It is covered by a thick plastic over most length however, so welding wouldn?t be ideal. I?ll keep that in mind though ..

Looks like the weld broke.

Yup. Looks like the guy at the factory only welded one side well back in 1989. Only held up for 33 years. Lousy craftsmanship! :)

You could easily cover that with spray paint after welding it, no big deal.

I have one...

I also have a rear hatch with a cell phone antennae provision drilled into the glass if anyone is interested. I thought it would be interesting to put a Porschee 944 rear wiper on it
