Re: '65 deck lid cushions

I remember reading about this once before , along time ago. Does the same rule apply for a 66?

Inquiring minds what to know !

The foam squares are placed in the area where the retracted softtop front latches would be; they are designed to eliminate the "rattle" while underway. Not used on hardtop only cars.

I wrap my softtop latches with flannel rags when the top is down (almost always) to eliminate that rattle. I also preload the decklid with shims in the rain gutter to eliminate the decklid latch rattle. The foam pads would have killed both birds with one pad...

Rattles are my least favorite feature of the old Corvettes.
