Convertible deck protector
 
I am a new membe... I own a 1992 convertible. I am trying to purchase a plastic deck protector which is permanently installed. I was told the later year C4 convertibles can from the factory with a permanent plastic deck protector. I can only find plastic protectors that are installed temporarily installed (plastic “clings” to the deck) when the top is up and then removed when the top is down. I would greatly appreciate where a permanent plastic prospector can be purchased. Thanks!

Welcome to the forum.
If later models came from the factory with a permanent protector, then you could check with your Chevrolet parts department to see if they're still available through them. If not the only other option would be the Corvette aftermarket.
Do the cling ones not stay on when the top is down?

I looked for one a couple of years ago, no luck. Only thought is maybe buy a cling style and have a adhesive based permanent one custom made from it.

You might check around hobby stores because I think there is a clear vinyl on a roll available that has adhesive on one side. All you would have to do that is cut it out to fit yours and apply it.

I have never seen a C4 deck protector other than the clear static strip (which I use). First I remember seeing is on the C5 deck. I'm going to Carlisle next week and will ask around there. If it existed someone there will know.

GM never offered the vinyl protectors separately, they could only be obtained when purchasing an OEM replacement deck lid.

I have reproduced these kits, including protectors for the B Pillars as well.

Ping me offline at RC4G at hotmail dot com for details.
