Maybe the most boomer-ish video I ever saw on you tube. How do I know? It was extremely thorough and left no stone unturned. How many videos do people tell you to take a connector off but don’t show you the trick of releasing the connector….which can be a big deal. Nicely done. The young bucks of today should take note of how to do these right!
Thank you so much for the nice comment. Agree, so as much detail as possible.
I must have watched this video 10 times already but I'm still afraid to do this. The guy on the video has such a soothing voice and the instructions are so crystal clear. The camera work is awesome. Maybe one day I will grow a pair and try this myself. Shucks.Let me stop lying, I will be at the corvette shop paying an expert like him. Pulling out those connectors requires precision and patience. I lack both. I'll get frustrated and just yank the damn thing out. Extra $2000 to get a new connector. God Bless the CorvetteHop people. They make it look so easy but a man has to know his limitations. That dude probably would have made a great surgeon on top of doing this kind of work.
As a new Corvette owner I find this video one of the best I've saved in my "Corvette" bookmark folder....thanks....
Thank you and congratulations on your new Corvette.
wow it doesn't get any more detailed then this. Reminds me when I was still on active duty. (AIT) retired now... These gentlemen are of true quality instrcurtor qaluification. detailed istallation at it best. Start with what's most important in with all we do before starting any project, safety first... Thx guys
This vid saved me a fortune. The mechanic wanted $2500! Thank you!
Happy it helped.
I want to thank the hero's at CorvetteHop for making such as excellent video. Today, I actually installed my new carbon dash on my own. LET ME MAKE THIS PERFECTLY CLEAR. This would not have happened if it wasn't for this video. I live in NYC so I saved roughly $1,000-1200 a in labor costs at very least. I have butter fingers so this is an amazing feat for me and I owe a great debt of gratitude to the guys at Corvette Hopp. 30 days ago I wrote that I could never do this but CorvetteHop made me a believer. Readers you will never have a true appreciation for the work that went into this video until you try doing it yourself. The step by step instructions provided by these gentlemen helped me take the leap. Please note that you will also need to get instructions on how to swap the electronics from your current dash to the new one. You will need a 5 star tamper proof Torx 20 bit to do that. For help on transferring the electronics go here. ua-cam.com/video/QnImyKzMAxQ/v-deo.html. I was able to get this done over the course of 2 days because I had a few struggles but I would say this job would take a novice like me 6-8 hours total. Just follow John's steps and you will be good to go.I would strongly suggest listening to CorvetteHops videos for all your mods.
Wow, thank you so much for the nice comments. I am so happy the video helped you with your project. The best reward is helping others. Service above self. Hop.
I meant every word. I was the guy who commented here 30 days ago that I could never do something like this. i was wrong. I saved a ton of money in the process and gained confidence that I don't always have to spend lots of money to get things done. Somethings I can do on my own with a little help from my friends at CorvetteHop. LOL You guys did an HBO. HBO=Helped a Brother Out. God Bless.
keep those cars on the road 😎👍
The color combo on that grand sport is one of the best I've ever seen and I've seen lots of corvettes. Kalahari soft top is amazing.
Great video, very professional and detailed 👏
Excellent video. Thank you much for this detail
This is a life saver ! Perfect
Many, many thanks for a perfectly speaking informitively video and a no nonsense music noise in the background! Surpurb!!!
Thank you friend. That is a nice thing to say.
Thanks for the excellent video and help on the radio.
thanks so very much Corvette Hop for the video...watched radio removal as well...I had the same problem with my 14 Vert...works like a champ now,,,thanks to you .... took me a few hours, but I took my time... plus,,,everything works and no screws left over....
You are welcome. No screws left over is a good sign lol Hop
Thanks to CorvetteHop I added a carbon fiber dash last week. HOWEVER. i had 4 screws left. Go figure LOL. They are like orphans with no where to go. hahaha. So you did real good.
GREAT VIDEO!!!
Excellent video beautiful car.
Very nice video and you guys doing a real 👍
Great video on dash removal, thanks!!!! You may want to mention that once you get the dash off, in order to swap all components over to your newly painted/hydro dipped dash piece you'll need a tamper proof 5 point star bit to get the climate controls out of the dash bezel... I failed to do this research when I did mine, and the car sat in the garage until amazon could deliver my set of bits. Tamper proof torx bits are rather common, but not the ones that GM decided to use.
Great input. Thank you. Hop
Litterally wished I read this comment. I'm in the Exact same situation. 5 point torx Tamper proof bits are needed. Not standard... tamper proof.
@@jordaneffinger664 sorry dude! Hey hop, put the 5 point tamper proof in your description or edit your video with a caption or something.
Thanks, this video was very helpful in the repair of and replacement of a bad cable on my infotainment screen on my 2015 C7 , 3LT, Z51.
Bob, tell me about the problem you had with your screen and where did you get the replacement cable? Part number by chance?
@@TheWhatisright The screen went black about two weeks ago. Sometimes when I lowered it I could see the Corvette logo flags light up and the radio worked, just could not see any of the touch buttons on the screen, but when I touched where my stations were it would change...so I figured the screen was OK and the HMI module was working too. Saw the video post when the left wire was touched it would light up. Then on corvette forum there is a post at www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c7-general-discussion/4213181-infotainment-screen-flickering-cheap-fix.html#post1598347854
. It shows the cables and a vague way of fixing it. The cable is a YCS Basics Black 6 Inch USB 2.0 USB Mini B Male to USB Mini B Female Cable....located at amazon at : www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B5HSA3Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
You need to get panel removal tools from Harbor freight for about $7. Then you need to watch videos on how to remove the dash and take apart the console on youtube. ua-cam.com/video/SlG75ze2Udc/v-deo.html and another good one is ua-cam.com/video/hCxT7y-TKIc/v-deo.html. Watch them both several times.
You will have to take the infotainment screen module out of the car to repair it. That is not explained in these videos or posts. There are 6 screws that hold it in and then you have to unplug a USB cable at the top and the two video cables at the bottom, one is black , the other white. Those were hard to take apart. Then there is another multiwire cable on the left side that supplies power. You have to take off the front bezel of the screen itself and then pry back the tab between the wires. As you are looking at the screen you need to unplug the blue cable on the far left and then I had to break off the female end of the old cable where it attached to the module... I ended up using contact cement and a touch of hot glue to attach the female end of the new cable back on the module. Once you have the new cable plugged into the screen I took a large slot screwdriver and pushed the plastic tab back down in place the best I could. I also installed a screen protector while I had it out.

@@bobwomack135 Wow. Very good info. Thank you for taking the time and sharing the details.
Loved this video, future project I would like to do on my C7 so I can replace with Carbon Fiber. Side note i was never a fan of silver but that silver with the tan top looks crazy insane Good!!! Holee smokes I love that car.
The Tan top is amazing. I have not seen one like than\t.
6:01 those screws are all 7mm, NOT 10mm. There’s about 24 in all.
This is one of the best videos I have seen. I walked it through front to back and it was perfect - especially the unplugging the items from the dash Thank you!
Thank you Corvette friend. Most of my videos are as detailed as possible with the goal to help others.
LET'S BE PERFECTLY CLEAR- The man doing this is an expert. because he is an expert he makes it look easy. PEOPLE-THIS IS NOT EASY. You can do more damage than good, Screw up one of those connectors and you're screwed. How about losing one of those screws. Guys like him a truly gifted and are master craftsmen for a reason. As for me and my house. I'm taking my C7 to a guy like him.
Hi John, huge fan
Good video!
Thank you.
Excellent video, THANK YOU!
You are welcome.
@@TheWhatisright I am currently stationed overseas in Europe and I am looking for any videos or tips on installing a fog light switch/ Combination Switch. Do you have or know a website that could help me remove the headlight switch and replace it with a combination switch?

@@grebbo89 A very nice car. The C3 and C7 are my favorite cars.
@@grebbo89 I do not but will sure keep my eyes and ears open Corvette friend.
i now know how to remove the interior if i ever get a C7 ... thanks.
Is it relatively the same process for the C7 standard transmission?
Great tutorial video. I was really surprised to hear you mention Converse TX I used to live there and am on Lake McQueeney now. I will definatly be having this done to my C7. What was the cost of the hydro dip?
Great and thank you. I am not sure of the cost because It depends on what you would like some. Best to just call them directly.::
5:00 - AAAAGH!! You scratched the handgrip piece!
How do find and replace my PDR antenna
This video is misleading. I though he was removing the dash. He removed only a part of the dash. Now i have to figure out how to remove the actual dash. Thanks
Make a Video - Removing dash Speakers (3) Thanks!
If I need to take out the radio/screen only, do I need to remove the complete dash as indicated?
Yes you do. Remove the center console also.
A nice way to loosen the décor of the central bridge, but for the information you can lift the hand of the transmission a little strongly to come out with the entire decoration and thank u
Thank you
Would you know how to remove the chrome stripps from the dash on. C8
Sorry, I have not had the opportunity to work on a C8 Corvette yet.
Corvette Hop I'm in NYC so getting to you guys is not an option. I'm going to order a carbon fiber dash and take it to a local expert but I don't want to get ripped off How many hours do you think it should take. These shops specialize in corvettes but they refuse to give me exactly how many hours. What would be a good estimate. Please and thank you.
I think 3 - 4 hours. I can do it in 2 but I have done it six times with my car and friends.
Thank you much sir. You are a MASTER CRAFTSMAN. Not easy to find these days.
Hah I made it 200 likes 👍. 200 well deserved thanks for information
Thank you so much. Happy you liked the video.
can you make a video on how to remove the glove box
An sure look into that. Thank you.
How much time does it take sir ?
About one hour. But I would go slow the first time. One can do it faster if done a few time.
You guys do this for a living?
to day i remove dash bot,,,model 2014
Form Qatar
Hope all works out well.
