I honestly don't know. Everything was purchased based on an 86. Pretty sure the wheel offset was different vs. later C4's but unsure if there were any other differences between a 88 or 86. Still...

I looked there before, unfortunately when I select the left side it shows "Out of Stock". That's the problem I've had, every site showed 'Out of Stock' or Discontinued.
Thanks for the thought though.

GM part "Drivers Side Folding Front Top Striker Plate" (15822673)

Prefer a working one but will consider a non-working one for shipping. If a non-working one is available, I'd like to see if they can be fixed as this is a discontinued part.
Thanks

Dummy me, I was looking under the console lid, where that info was on my C4. Didn't even realize that there was a glove compartment in the car. I found the options sticker there. Sorry about that.

Appreciate the info so far. If they put that sticker in the glovebox, someone must have removed it sometime in the past as it's not there today.
