Default leaks & mold

Just purchased my 94ZR1 and let it sit outside with cover. Guess the cover leaked cause the interior was soaked. Now I have some mold on the leather. Anyone know how to remove mold without hurting the leather. Are these models known to leak.... and one place more likely than another?

You might want to post this on the C4 Forum. I can't imagine putting a cover that wasn't waterproof on an 'outside' car.

Welcome to the Forum!

Here is some info from GM - not simple or cheap.

You may get more responses in the C4 section, but, the correction is pretty much the same regardless of generation.

Try this link:


http://sm.gpona.com:9001/si/home.do


For the year input "1980"

For the make input "Chevrolet"

For the model input "Corvette"

Click "Next"

Click "Bulletins"

Click "View all bulletins"

The bulletin you want is second from the bottom.

Hope this helps.


Incidentally, this link works for most year GM cars.
