Emailed my uncle, who works in the Bowling Green plant, and asked him about the poor assembly quality with the missing screw. Just did it for a laugh. He replied and stated that it was "part" of the Porsche like weight reduction plan that GM is trying to mimic. Put a smile on my face.
Great video.. sorry, I think I missed it but where can I get this? I didn’t see a link. I have the same problem in my 2014 C7 and would like to get it. Thanks in advance for the help!
Hay Brian This same problem exists with the dash leather separating as well. Any solution there? Heat is the problem close to the windshield glass itself. A real eye sore for sure. Any recommendations?
Very easy install and I liked the leather treatment process,it looks like it is black, do they come in different colors such as gray with light gray stitching, thanks for the video.
Great video! Sorry, as I think I missed it, but where can I get this? I have the same problem in with my 2014 c7 and would like to get it. Thanks in advance for the help!
Thanks Brian. I think I'll get this on my 2014 Laguna Blue Stingray. I have what I think is called "brownstone" leather & suede interior. That Stingray emblem looks awesome.
I wish a company would make paddedarm rests and parts for corvettes that are not so expensive. My Jeep Wrangler Sahara has many mods but there is many selections of parts to choose from at reasonable prices. I know you pay for quality parts and believe me, the parts look like factory issued. C'mon corvette fans.
Great information, always learning from you. It's really getting bad with the OEMs and thier cost reduction efforts, it seems as if they are engineering it to last the warranty period, if that.
I saw this coming after working on customers cars.On mine I coated the leather with IGL’s leather coat. And covered it with a terry cloth cover that has the corvette emblem stitched into it. Thanks for the video I’ll start suggesting this option to some of my customers.
So is this “leather” really a coated plastic product? My C7 has the micro fiber / alcantra interior, but it suffers the same separation / wrinkle problem. It’s worse on the doors. The microfiber stretches and pulls away from the foam. I have the dreaded 3LT dash - thankfully mine hasn’t separated yet but the edges of the bat wing above the gauges isn’t holding down so great. It’s too tight of an edge, GM should have stitched it in a different place to relieve pressure. The C7 is great, the driving experience is amazing... but in typical GM fashion there are some minor interior and exterior cheapness that shows thru - if you know where to look.
I just bought a c5 zo6 and the previous owner glued Velcro the the dashboard to secure a dash Matt. How do I get this off without harming the OEM dashboard material?
Hi Brian... Great as always. I have a question if you don't mind. How can I know when the coating applied is already gone and what will be the general process to recoat? This question applies for either coating Leather, Trim, Paint or Wheel.
Just a heads up to you: I see you linked Corvette Mods on the description. Their reviews are generally very poor in the Corvette community in terms of customer service. Buyer beware.
@@apexdetail85 is the arm rest you installed in the video from Corvette Mods site? I called and asked customer service and he said they get these straight from the GM factory? You also mentioned we could send in the core for a discount, he suggested otherwise and said they don’t do that? I’m confused now, lol Where did you get the one you replaced in your video? Thanks-

😂👍
Body oils DID NOT cause mine to separate. You can clearly see where the adhesive is and is it. It’s just a shitty design.
Like to see more C7 projects!
Omg that car looks so beautiful and clean
This item has been discontinued 😩
Upgradeing the OEM part to heavy duty while retaining the factory loo!!. Well done Brian.

Thanks Brian. I have a 2014 c7 z51 and the lid was terrible. After seeing this video I now have a new one. Thanks again

Where can I have one made? I love it

That center console is NO LONGER AVAILABLE 😢
I really just go to upholstery shop in my town wouldn't be that much to be opposed to that
Love the cover. I have the adrenaline red cover so what company did you go with for the added thickness. Enjoying the Polish content btw.👌

I love my C7 Corvette but I wouldn’t spend that kind of money and put that terrible logo on it. 🤦♂️
Typical Government Motors Junk cheap'n out as always even on their premium vehicles....
Great information, always learning from you. It's really getting bad with the OEMs and thier cost reduction efforts, it seems as if they are engineering it to last the warranty period, if that.
Can confirm. Own a 2020 Honda now and the fit and finish is disappointing.
Mils?? 🤦♂️😂
nice change of pace. c7 looks bad ass good friend. u think new at over 75k better interior?

What was the color code on your center console I know what you mean mine is starting to do that now thanks for the information
How many cars do you have? And where do you store them?
Love this video! I need to get one! Do you know where I can get a door armrest replacement?
I like when you do something to the best it can be. I would get this if I needed it. I have to check my camaro ss

I couldnt agree with you more.

Citrol 266 ...flush immediately after.
Nice touch to the interior Brian, also you backdrop sign looks good.
Cool video and I really liked the custom leather replacement.
I lay out a nice microfiber towel over my arm rest.
Thank You
Just discovered this
1st from Puerto Rico 👍🇵🇷
This bat mobile paint is just ridiculous 🤣
What'sup Brian!
Fancy new backdrop there old man,Nice finish on that armrest.(Stingray)
Thanks!
Torx bit. 😉 New cover looks better 😎
Great video. You might want to update your Grand Sport and Z06 links to get more sales as the ones posted are defunct for whatever reason.
What would be other alternative products for protecting leather like materials besides this one?
Gyeon Leather.
Thats pretty sweet👍🏼👍🏼😎
How many cars do you have? And where do you store them?
Thats a need to no basis.😀👍
I had the same problem! That and the seats.
Hi Brian... Great as always.
I have a question if you don't mind. How can I know when the coating applied is already gone and what will be the general process to recoat? This question applies for either coating Leather, Trim, Paint or Wheel.
The obvious protection will diminish. Depending on the material...polish or chemical will remove what is left over,.
@@apexdetail85 Perfect. Thanks for the clarification.
Just a heads up to you: I see you linked Corvette Mods on the description. Their reviews are generally very poor in the Corvette community in terms of customer service. Buyer beware.
There are some on ebay and Amazon.....same thing there as well.
@@apexdetail85 is the arm rest you installed in the video from Corvette Mods site?

Where did you get the one you replaced in your video? Thanks-
Is this leather protectant safe for coloured leather? I have a car with a blue leather interior.
Technically all leather is coloured/dyed.
What kind of products to make your paint look so glossy and wet looking?
Its in tonights video....Topper.
Your C7 is now... flawless.😁👍
I love part solutions to common problems, hope to see more
Looks way better than stock ! good job on that !
Really nice Brian 👍😁
Awesome! Is that emblem an Apex thing. Or does it have another meaning?
It is the base model stingray emblem for this particular car. Besides this one...you can get Grand Sport, Zo6, and ZR1
@@apexdetail85 Awesome...thanx!
That is one sweet car!
Nice sign!
Nice
Nicely done 👍
